Uffff - that was close indeed

I like your footage! Well done.

Great video! The lighting was perfect and the fog made the shot very compelling. Can you find an angle, while keeping a nice light that will take the power lines out of the shot? Hope you will get a chance to flick it onto "sport" mode and follow that train a bit while filming..

I can see why you wanted that shot. That final footage was awesome! I'm glad you managed to get out of those wires with no contact. Phew!

I like the smooth pan in front of the train.
Any tips to n how you did that - or just an awesome pilot? [emoji4]

It is not easy. Takes a lot of practice and a lot of editing. I have a whole bunch of turns that I have never used.

Powerlines run the entire railroad corridor in this section of the valley. It is a beautiful section with mountains in the background and it is easy to get to.
