I have a dumb question, because I really like this shot and was wanting to know more about it. How did you get the monorail to come out so clear with a shutter of 12.8 seconds? Was it stopped there? By the way, REALLY nice shot!

Not a dumb question at all. In fact, I was waiting for this question to be asked since we are accustomed to seeing the monorail in motion when not at the station. This being at DL, I was standing near the Matterhorn when I saw this one just creeping along. It was almost eerie how slow it was going in the dark. So, I just watched it for a minute and then it stopped completely. Well, I was already doing some shooting with the camera mounted on the tripod and thought hmmm, this looks like a nice stroke of luck! It was getting fairly late so not many people to worry about either. I was on it like stink on a monkey and I promptly took pictures from every angle imagineable.

I appreciate the nice comment!
