I panned with locomotive at 1/25 second. The pan turned out very nice, as the big diesel is sharp and clear. Unfortunately, the silver board in the background doesn't offer an impression of speed. It is a solid color, so there is nothing to blur. The track and foreground suggest the train is moving fast, but this shot would be much improved if the background consisted of strong, stationary objects that would excentuate the diesel's movement.
