Those dreaded red letters in my view finder!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, there we were, poised and waiting . . . . <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mike Gardner and I had photographed CSX\u2019s loaded autorack train Q264-21 (as featured with \u2018DPU\u2019 the other day on Tracking the Light) and were waiting for the crew to take the empty autorack Q263-23 west.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For more than an hour we waited at milepost 67 in Brookfield, Massachusetts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As recommended, I made several test shots with my Fujifilm XT1 as the lighting conditions changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then finally Mike announced \u2018HEADLIGHT!\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I exposed a test burst of photos CSX Q263-3 in the distance and then . . .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OH NO!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[insert expletive here]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a 32GB card, I can store hundreds of images. So many that I forget to even check how many I have left. And so at this critical moment, I\u2019m left pixel-less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
The last frames in a burst of three . . . Had I only checked to see how many frames were left. You know I had a spare card (several) in my camera bag. Poor show, Brian. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Well, thankfully I had my Lumix LX7 around my neck and so managed a close-up photograph anyway. But there\u2019s a lesson for you in this story. And for me<\/em> too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lumix LX7 photo. The irony in this lesson is that I think I made a better photo with the Lumix.
