One-Minute Reads about Film Photography

Another motion-blur shot from hand-held camera.

Two things I like about this shot: The train speeding by, and the red donut of light from the oncoming train. The latter effect is a property of Cinestill film, a re-spooling of Kodak Vision 3 motion picture film with the remjet layer removed, and thus the halation from bright point sources of light.

Since this was shot with a wide angle lens, it was fairly easy to keep the scene sharp while holding the camera and using a shutter speed of 1/15. A steady hand helps. Just another example of how pictures can incorporate a moving target while holding the camera versus mounting on a tripod.
