On the evening of February 9, 1994, I exposed the final frame on 36 exposure roll of a Southern Pacific eastward freight ascending Donner Pass at Yuba Pass, California near where I-80 crosses the railroad.<\/p>\n

I used an old Nikkormat FTN for this view and exposed the film with the aid of a Sekonic Studio Deluxe handheld photocell light meter.<\/p>\n

This photo demonstrates two things. Firstly the enormous dynamic range of Fujichrome slide film. Secondly, my ability to get the most out of each roll.<\/p>\n

At the time I had very little money and yet spent what little I had on film and fuel for my car. I would routinely save the final frame of a roll for something special.<\/p>\n

Frame 37 of a 36 exposure roll of Fujichrome 100.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

About this time I submitted a page of 20 35mm color slides to the well-known editor of a major railroad magazine, all frame number 37 and 38. I did this to check his attention to detail to see what he\u2019d say.<\/p>\n

Years later when I met him face to face, I\u2019d mentioned this effort to him, and he admitted that he\u2019d never even noticed.<\/p>\n

You do<\/em> know that I like to hide things in plain sight? Right?<\/em> It always astounds me when no one seems to notice. (Rest easy, there\u2019s nothing to see here except a California sunset.)<\/p>\n
