In relation to this morning’s post; Mass-Central on Ware Hill; Boston & Albany’s Ware River Branch in a Modern Context, I’ve received several comments (and email) suggesting that a view in between the two I originally presented might be a superior alternative.
I don’t concur, but I am willing to offer this photo as a potential third alternative.
I had had my FujiFilm X-T1 set to ‘turbo flutter’ (continuous fast) and so exposed a great many images in rapid successionat this location.
How about the next exposure, so the tree isn’t blocking the cab of the loco and is just before the large tree, that you had in your second shot?
I agree that blocking the cab isn’t good. Those smaller trees do more blocking than one would originally have thought.
Everyone’s a critic, so I’ll be one too. How about an image placing the locomotive where the 1st car is in the above photo between the 2nd and 3rd tall tree from the left? This would place it about 1/3 car-length beyond the locomotive in the top photo this morning. Or would that divide the image too much into halves left to right?
Still prefer the 1st exposure from this morning!
