On June 1, 2019, after several years of slumber, Conway Scenic Railroad\u2019s 0-6-0 7470 made its first steps, moving under its own power around the railroad\u2019s North Conway , New Hampshire yard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sights and sounds of this former Grand Trunk 0-6-0 have delighted visitors and residents of North Conway since the early 1970s, so having the locomotive back under steam represents a milestone event for the railroad\u2019s 2019 operating season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made these photos using my Lumix LX7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the challenges of photographing excursion railroads is working with high-summer light. Operations favor the schedules of the majority of the visiting public, and during summer often this tends coincide with the dreaded midday sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Black steam locomotives make for an extra challenge as the drivers and other reciprocating gear tend to be masked by the inky shadows of the highlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this circumstance high-thin clouds diffused high-sun and resulted in better contrast than on a completely clear day. Working with my RAW files in Lightroom I made further adjustments to shadow areas in order to make my images more appealing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
