An HDR photograph of the Calatrava designed Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge across the Trinity River near downtown Dallas. I was setting up the tripod when the train came steaming along over the trestle between me and the cable-stay bridge. I had to rush the picture before the train went by and didn’t get the focus right… better luck next time. This is a tone-mapped image taken from a single RAW exposure. Since the train was moving at a pretty good clip, I couldn’t use a three-exposure HDR image – I tried it and there were too many strange effects around the train because it was in different spots in each exposure.
Wow! What’re the odds of being at that exact place at that exact time? Made me do a double-take!
I think the train goes by a couple times a day – so it isn’t too much of a coincidence. I only wish I had been a few minutes earlier so I could have set up properly.
