Call this one Telephoto and Wideangle contrasts.<\/p>\n

In October I called up to one of my favorite places and made these two views of the GATX slug-set that Pan Am Railways uses to work the East Deefield hump.<\/p>\n

During the course of its duties the East Deerfield hump engine routinely pulls cuts of freight cars out onto the Connecticut River Bridge, which makes for ample opportunity to expose photographs.<\/p>\n

Sometimes one view doesn\u2019t give you the full picture.<\/p>\n

I like the old bridge in this bucolic setting, and this also a great place to picture equipment. I\u2019ve photographed dozens of trains here over years.<\/p>\n

One view was exposed with my 12mm Zeiss Touit (wide angle) lens; the other with my Fujinon 90mm telephoto. The wideangle view takes in the scene; the telephoto photo focuses more tightly on the locomotive. By presenting both you get a more complete picture.<\/p>\n

\"\"

In this 12mm wide angle view, notice how the effect of soft sunlight on the bridge helps direct your eye to the locomotive.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On my FujiFilm XT1, the 90mm lens approximates the angle of view offered by a 135mm lens on a traditional full-frame 35mm film camera.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
