I planned this shot with the app 'Photopills'. I wanted the sun aligned with the tracks during the sunset, it happens only at the end of August/early September. With overcast days and finding an available friend to model, I was left with few attempts.
2018 and 2019 were not that good, this is the 2020 version, no sky replacement, this is the sky I had that day.

I asked my friend to pose, we then waited for a train to pass. I combined everything in Photoshop.
I did a 5 photos exposure bracketing and some luminosity masking that's why it has a good dynamic range.

The guy on the tracks really captured my interest. It adds a lot of tension to the photo.
