My first Railroad Photography 101 class held at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania proved to be a success.

We had limited the number of participants to a small, but manageable number.

I started with a 25 minute overview of photography, offering photo tips and discussion of locomotive portraits and other subject matter, before delving into details on lighting, composition and technique. Then the participants were given an hour to wander around the museum to make photographs of their own. I had pre-arranged for some of the safety barriers to be temporarily removed to allow for unobstructed views of key locomotives.

At the end, I told a few anecdotal stories and answered questions.

My hope is that everyone learned something helpful and useful to advance their own photography.
