Amazing shots Emily! Great Job! Have you considered making a extra large print of one of them for wall framing?

Great shots, Emily. The second Chicago shot brought back memories of Rebecca DeMornay and Tom Cruise in “Risky Business.” Look it up on Imdb if it was before your time.

Flash photos at night can be done well, or it can be done poorly. I’ve seen a lot in between: neat-looking at first, but rather boring once the novelty wears off.

I’m glad that somebody is calling it out for just being clichÃ© rather than a hazard to train crews. Unless you’re pointing it into the cab at close range, it’s a complete non-issue. I’ve been “flashed” twice: I missed the flash entirely the first time and only noticed it the second time because I was looking straight at the lights. Even then, it was just a quick, not-all-that-bright flash!

I absolutely agree with you on using longer exposure instead. With these shiny passenger trains, the effect is quite nice!
