This motion study was captured with a Zeiss 40mm lens on a Pentax 645Z camera and 10 stops of neutral density. The 13 second exposure was timed so the train was passing in front for roughly half the exposure. The regular corrugated surface of the commuter train worked well to allow the station building to retain detail while still clearly showing the train streaking by in front. A freight train (which passed by earlier) worked comparatively poorly for this.

Perhaps if I were better at photography I’d be able to take less blurry pictures.

@mattblaze@federate.social that’s very nice! I like that the corrugations below what I guess are the windows of the carriages make it look like it’s pulling the station along to the right in its wake.
