I took this photo from the top of a parking garage next to Elizabeth station in New Jersey. I used my Canon 90D with a 24-70 f2.8L II lens. The light trails were shot at ISO 100, f22, and shutter speeds ranging from 20-30 seconds. The train was shot at ISO 3200, f2.8, 1/160, and I used a little bit of denoise in post. I went through all the train schedules beforehand and made a list of every train that would pass the station, what kind of train they were, what direction they were going, and whether they would stop or pass. This was also my third day attempting to get this shot, the other days the train I wanted ended up getting cancelled.
