Over the years I\u2019ve spent a lot of time studying railway imagery, observing and analyzing hundreds of thousands of individual photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the most striking are the works of Japanese photographers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of their most successful photos cleverly use focus and depth of field to place the railway in its environment. In some situations this is accomplished with a single image; in others with a sequence of photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week, I emulatted the style embraced by my Japanese counterparts to produce this sequence of images at the Swift River Bridge on Conway Scenic Railroad\u2019s Conway Branch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here I\u2019m working with three primary subjects; the truss bridge, Budd rail diesel car Millie<\/em> and a flowering tree. All were exposed digitally using my FujiFilm XT1 with 18-135mm zoom lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
