This is a 5 second exposure of a commuter train approaching Maynooth reflected in the waters of the Royal Canal in the late evening while Venus &#038; the Moon shine over-head. This is a shot I&#8217;d tried before, and each time I learned a few more valuable lessons. So, although this is the result of a learning experience, I&#8217;m still shocked at how lucky I was to get everything to line up as well as it did. The train, the reflection, the silhouette of the tree, those things I could control, but the positions of the Moon and Venus, those were a pure bonus! Anyhow, if I had to pick my three best photos yet, this is one I&#8217;d definitely choose.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bartbusschots.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/3151657587-0fe1d09f5d-o.jpg\" alt=\"Into the Night\" style=\"border-width:0px;\" width=\"464\" height=\"331\" \/><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/bbusschots\/3151657587\/\" target=\"_blank\">on Flickr<\/a> &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/bbusschots\/3151657587\/sizes\/o\/\" target=\"_blank\">Full-Size<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Camera:<\/strong> Nikon D40<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lens:<\/strong> Nikon DX AFS 18-55mm (D40 kit lens)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Exposure:<\/strong> 5 sec<\/li>\n<li><strong>Focal Length:<\/strong> 18mm<\/li>\n<li><strong>Focal Ratio:<\/strong> F5<\/li>\n<li><strong>ISO:<\/strong> 200<\/li>\n<li><strong>Camera Mode:<\/strong> Manual<\/li>\n<li><strong>Exposure Bias:<\/strong> -2.0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a friend of mine put it on Flickr, this photo combines my three nerdy hobbies, Astronomy, Photography, and trains.
