Submitter's name:	Mike Cormier
Title:	All Aboard!
Gear used:	OM-2n + Winder2 + Zuiko 35-70/4 + Hoya 1B filter
Diaphragm:	f16
Shutter speed:	Aperture Priority
Film used:	Kodak Royal Gold 200 ASA.
Technical information:	The 35-70 was at 70mm and the sun was from above, behind, and to the left. The shot was completely spontaneous, as I was out scouting locations for a medium format shoot with my "snapshot" setup of OM gear (I rarely use zooms for anything else). The timing was simple luck, but I'd like to think the photographer had something to do with the resulting image since the train WAS moving pretty quick.
Subject information:	Commuter Train leaving Carleton University campus. For those of you trying to guess the photographer's name, you can research the university to narrow down my location... lol. I really liked the way the water was turbulent with lots of white caps... it kinda reminded me of Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water".

I like this shot, it shows a wild river, which for all its ferocity is being dominated by man, as is shown by the train passing over it. BTW: Over here in Enschede they have recently introduced the very same type of train, which is of the so-called "light-rail" type, not requiring powerlines and not causing a lot of noise, I like those trains.

Nice composition and timing - I like the turbulent waters and teh train just entering the picture.
