Views From the Cab—where vantage point matters.

July 25, 2017 brian solomon 4 Comments

A few weeks back I had the opportunity to make some views from a diesel locomotive cab.

I’m no stranger to cab-rides, but this recent trip allows me to illustrate a few ways of illustrating this great vantage point.

I’ve made no effort to hide where these photos were made from; so by including the locomotive nose or framing the tracks in the locomotive’s front windows I’ve made my vantage point obvious. I was on the engine as it rolled along.

All three views were made with my FujiFilm X-T1 digital camera fitted with a Zeiss 12mm Touit lens.

   I only had one film body with me that day, and it was loaded with Provia 100F. Although come to think of it, I might have made a black & white view of the engineer with B&W before I reloaded.

   I think the single window concentrates the view. I don’t think colour is really an issue in the picture so would have used black and white for les distraction still.

   One window is great. However the first picture is the best with the full blue sky and green contrasting colors.
