speedy 'reflection' : the London to Bournemouth

Are those faces I can see pressed at the windows looking at this crazy woman crouching in the car park?

I didn't actually see this train so, apart from timing, I can't really take much credit for the shot. I'd just come out from my bit of teaching, dumped my stuff in the passenger seat of my car, taken my camera out of my pocket to see what I could find to shoot through the nice big puddle that I'd noticed on my way in and then I heard the hoot of a train. So I got down to puddle level with my camera and pressed the shutter 3 times (the other 2 shots, which I captured but haven't posted, show the following carriages.)

Thanks for all your photos shared this week and for your interest in my photos.

What a wonderful shot, I didn't see anything on the way to work, I will have to pop out for lunch.

Bulldog, thanks. This was just an absolute gift - I could hardly believe what I had captured. Yes, go out for lunch!!!

Nice shot, Hazel. Trains are such compulsive camera-fodder, aren't they?
February 15th, 2013  
This is great hazel.....love how what ever we are doing or wherever we are the camera is always to hand!

Great reflection Hazel. Sometimes we are in the right place at the right time!

@wordpixman

Thanks. Well, I've seen some lovely train shots of yours but think this is my first one posted on 365 but probably will not be the last! It suddenly came to me the other day (as things do) that your new Lumix camera rather negates the expression SOOC?!

@Cherrill

Thank you. Too right and the memory of the odd occasion when I've not had my camera with me and missed a potentially good shot means I always keep mine at hand now. (point and shoot rules, eh?!)

@cabawg

It's good when it happens - I think this was a window of about 1 minute!

Good one Hazel...how fortunate you were there for the train, it brings a vibrant injection of colour into a pretty scene.

It turned out great. I really like the reflections, too.
February 15th, 2013  
Love the reflection on this Hazel - great timing too so hats off for that!

Nice shot. I go under a railway bridge twice a day but have yet to get one on camera.

@darrenboyj

I think that is the most amazed I've been when I looked at the shot on the camera and saw what I'd got!
February 15th, 2013  
Whooo! Hazel well done!! Totally brilliant! And so funny, the thought that they might all be looking at you! The reflection is perfect and even the road sign adds nicely to the colours!

@tishpics

Thank you - I think at least a few passengers would have spotted me! I just hope they saw I had a camera in my hand - well why should I care really. They don't know me - I hope!
