1. Wait until you think it is too late, (then it probably will be!). 2. Put your motor drive on single frame and after you have fired too soon, fire again. 3. Move to St. Louis, Missouri where they run so few trains into the sun when the sun is actually out that when you finally see one, after nearly passing out from the excitement, you rip through the whole roll of film on it and the discard all but the frame where the train is situated to your liking. 4. In the hours before the shoot, try to live, eat, breath and be surrounded by trains so you don't become so exited by the sight of a live one that you nearly pass out from the excitement (I was told about this one). 5. Go to a town or place where they run lots of high speed trains and practice, practice, practice! (Please tell us where this place is if you find it!).
