The Palmdale line stops in Santa Clarita every 30 minutes or so, starting at 5:50 am. That means you have only a few seconds to try to get a long exposure shot right. 30 minutes later the light will be different, wrong even. I just made it in time to get my tripod set for this 6:21 am train. I’m not sure this is “right,” but it’s the shot I got.

Many of my photos are built around twilight… it is a 15-20 minute window
Yeah, me too. This particular train station, if you want to shoot an actual train moving, is even tighter.
With a 30 minute frequency, you really only have 1 shot … maybe.
