Photographer’s Note
This is a view of the royal palace in Budapest taken from next to one of the tram lines at the foot of the hill. The photo was taken by combining a long exposure (to expose the illuminated palace in the background) with a burst of flash as the tram was passing. The flash was not sufficient to fully expose the tram, which combined with the long exposure covering a period in which the tram was not there has resulted in a ghostly appearance for the tram.

Wonderful night shot Andrew. Strangely no people around. electric lines are disturbing a bit but considering the subject taken, it blends along with the picture quite well.

Hallo Andrew!
This is a most interesting picture! The tram looks like a ghost train in the night. The whole photo is full of beauty. I like especially the shining curves of the rails. Thank you for showing this!
Greetings from Germany!

I personally don't like the ghostly appearance of the tram, but I agree it is interesting and the photo is otherwise superb.

Awesome photo. The idea with the flash is great because you can see more than just a motion blur.
