Challenge:Yellow Revisited (Basic Editing II) Camera:Canon EOS-10D Location: Country road north of Brownsville,TX Date: Dec 1, 2004 Aperture: 32 ISO: 800 Shutter: 1/30 Date Uploaded: Dec 3, 2004
I have driven by this warning sign many times and decided to include it in the Yellow Revisited Challenge. I live about 1 mile from the crossing. Trains do not run on a regular schedule and I had to be aware when one was coming. When I heard one approaching, sooner than I expected, I grabbed my camera, got in my truck and headed for the crossing. I arrived about 20 seconds before the train and had time for only one shot. It was an overcast day, so no nice blue sky.
I think the yellow warning sign and the train at the crossing leads to the impact of the challenge

Very nice display of motion. The fixed sign is definitely fixed. It is neat how close the bottom of the sign comes to the top of the engine. I love the composition except fot the vines or whatever covering the railroad crossing sign on the right side. A 9.
