Gauzy afternoon light in late autumn is a great time to photograph steam locomotives at work.<\/p>\n

The combination of a relatively low sun angle with slightly diffused shadows, provides directional light with moderate contrast that nicely illuminates the locomotive\u2019s boiler components and reciprocating parts while offering excellent color rendition.<\/p>\n

Cool atmospheric conditions make for ample effluence of locomotive exhaust allowing for classic portrayal of a steam locomotive at work<\/p>\n

This lighting situation is generally superior to harsh midday summer sun that tends to leave locomotive detail in inky shadows and atmospheric conditions that leave steam exhaust largely invisible to the naked eye.<\/p>\n

Pat Yough and I re-examined Strasburg Railroad in mid-November and made a variety of classic views of locomotive no. 90 at work.<\/p>\n
