    • No surprise with an exposure time of 1/1600 sec (0.000625)! ;-) Assuming the train moves at 50 km/h, it moves only 8 millimeters during the exposure... --Janke | Talk 19:07, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      True, but that also limits the amount of light let in. Basically, I'm impressed at how well focus, exposure, focal plane, and so on were used. There's really not much notable blur until you get right back towards the land in the distance, which is great focal depth. Sure, maybe the smooth concrete structure helps with that, but it's still very well done. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.1% of all FPs 21:06, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
