One of the neat things about modern digital cameras is that they automatically keep track of a variety of trivial things.

Some such as the date, time and exposure details of each photo are useful for captioning the images and better understanding the success and failures of photos when using various camera modes, lens settings etc.

Others are pointless, but nice to know.

Tuesday evening at 7:29pm, I exposed my 1000th frame with my ‘new’ Nikon Z6-III. This photo was part of a rapid-fire sequence of Amtrak ACS-64 644 leading eastward Keystone 658 at Christiana, Pa.

The photo was exposed at f1.4 with my ‘Fast Fifty’ (50mm lens), with a shutter speed of 1/640th of second and the ISO at 4,000. I was panning the front of the locomotive, which combined with shallow depth of field help sets the locomotive apart from the background.

I’m presenting two variations of the same file. These received nominally different post processing. I’m not sure which variation I like better.
