A fast moving Delaware & Hudson Railroad freight train crossing the river.

A slight blur due to an occasional and sometimes unintentional slow camera speed setting, can sometimes be a blessing by giving the illusion of speed or motion.

I was pacing this H.O Scale Delaware & Hudson Railroad freight train with my Cannon Power Shot digital camera, at the Oak Park Society of Model Engineers,H.O Scale Model Railroad Club.

The train wasn't really moving that fast, but the slight hesitation on behalf of the camera's uncertain shutter speed, created the illusion of a fast moving freight train.

Thanks.
