 Jesus said with faith the size of a mustard seed you could move moutains. This train had not moved in years, then I came along!

The blur effect was done with photoshop.
I used the lasso pick tool, selected the train.
Cut and pasted to another layer ,then added motion blur.
Changed the opacity saturared the colours.
Resized for upload

VERY nice work with the tools to create the blur on this one! I like just the touch of color in an otherwise monochrome shot, too.

I'm going to go ahead and be the picky one here...

There's an odd white box above the last red car of the train. It looks like something that was accidentally done in post processing. Also, wouldn't the blur of a train really moving be slightly angled? The blur towards the back of the train doesn't seem right. The front looks awesome though.

Kudos to you for thinking creatively.

Excellent technique for the blur, it really does look like the train is in motion!

Would never have guessed that the blur was done in photoshop until I read your notes. Nice effect.

lol .. i wondered wot a mustard seed could possibly have to do with this excellent moving train .!! .. apparently its not moving at all .!!. excellent effect .. i'm wondering wot camera settings you had to get it like that coz some of the train is quite well defined .. did you hold your camera for a split second and then move quickly .. and also wondering also how many takes .. !! ..:)

Haha, I like your notes. That train is a great subject for the use of blur - and it's even going so fast all the colour has blown back.
