Interrobang (RobR)

Alliance, Ohio

A load of steel coils and other miscellaneous freight rolls off the NS Fort Wayne and onto the Cleveland Line at Alliance, Ohio. This shot was taken with my FZ20 on a tripod, about ten feet away from the tracks. I left it there as the train passed. The wind from the train blew it over, landing on the eyepiece on bricks. The shattering of the plastic around the eyepiece was the only damage the camera suffered.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ20
1/80s f/2.8 at 45.5mm iso80 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Very strong and sharp pic;The unfortunate incident reminds me of what one can read in Italian trains"e pericoloso sporgerse"

Is that engine by Ferrari? Nice pic. Sorry to hear about the mishap, glad to hear the camera is still working, albeit with battle scars.

I like the way all the lines lead the eye to the focal point :) Nice composition. ~ Ang
