Even then I don't think it's worth the effort. Another thing to keep in mind is the amount of sky you're showing is too empty. In other words the scene requires "pictorial clouds" that increases the blurs of blue and white through this area. Or the train and track side background are much closer together filling the frame with much more blur effect. Big empty areas are nada for this to work for the best effect. But keep trying as you're on the right "track." ;-) And like I said, it takes lots of film to get beauties. ted
