I really like this one, and you might be seeing it in this year's top ten at the end of December.
Here's the story. I was on Lackawanna Avenue in Mayfield on a recent afternoon. I could see a train off to my right, moving up the tracks toward Carbondale. I needed to get ahead of it, jump out of the car, point the camera, and get my shot.
Problem: a slow moving garbage truck was ahead of me-- a very slow moving garbage truck.
The driver finally became inspired, or the garbage truck caught a good gear. It began to gather a little speed, enough for me to get ahead of the train. I quickly pulled over to the side of the road, grabbed the camera, ran up an embankment and began firing away.
This is one of the few times I used the "sports" mode on my camera. It's meant to capture moving subjects, and you can fire off several shots in a short amount of time. The results weren't great, but good enough for a decent shot. Red train. Fall foliage. It works.
