Stand Out from the Crowd; How to Make Better Steam Photos

Tuesday March 10th, I’m giving a class on Steam Locomotive photography at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania.

I intend to offer a brief history of the locomotive and how more complete understanding of steam locomotives can help lead to better contemporary images of these historic machines.

Students will have the opportunity to photograph the museum’s collection and I hope to offer helpful insight in techniques and strategies for making more effective steam images.

In November 2021, Kris and I were invited to attend a Trains Magazine photo charter with Soo Line 2-8-2 1003. This popular event attracted a wide variety of photographers and enabled creation of some memorable images.
