Tied to the Tracks

I ran into Black Bart at the Saloon. He said, "Pay up or it's your life". Next thing I knew I was hog tied to the tracks...

Caution Tech Stuff:

I stopped at my buddy Bruce's house who has a large train setup.

What you see here are 2x 4 sec exposures layered together. One lit more for the train and the other for the yellow caboose. I added extra rock to the front of the track. I also added a light and beam to the front of the train as well as some smoke coming out of the stack.

I set up to shoot myself on the floor but first I had to tie myself up with rope. This is not as easy as it sounds. Tough to move around when you are in knots. I fired the camera with a remote that I was holding in my left hand.

The rest is clean up and drop shadows. Enjoy my friends...
