For today’s challenge picture I chose to shoot a “Selfie.” I had decided all day long that I was going to get a shot of myself out railfanning for my birthday with a train going by in the background. You see what I got!
In all fairness, I photographed almost a dozen trains this afternoon and when I finally decided to start calling it a day and shoot this “Selfie” at Kelly, Ky as the scanner indicated that there was a southbound train coming. However, after standing on this wooden, one lane bridge over the tracks and every single car in the county came by during the 30 minutes I waited I finally gave up and shot this one with the empty track.
When you have a shot in mind that you want to capture, don’t wait till the last minute to do so!
Photo was shot with the iPhone 5s using the front facing camera with the ShakeItPhoto App.
