I appreciate the comment, but I had to smile reading it. Like many of my better images, it was more a result of good fortune than good planning. My drone and I were on the far side of the bridge, and I was flying over the water shooting toward the city. I heard the train starting to rumble by, and I remembered the challenge. It was rolling pretty slowly, and I scrambled to get my bearings and spot it from the view from the drone. I then had to race to get ahead of it, to get the city in the background. I had to put the drone into "sport" mode where it flies faster at the expense of recognizing obstacles in its path. Not recommended. Flying backward while trying to compose the shot before the train and my drone got too far off was exciting.
