Friday, February 11, 2022, New Hampshire’s Conway Scenic operated its vintage Russell snow plow with former Maine Central Railroad GP38 255 pushing it west toward Attitash. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I followed the plow by road and made a few select digital photos with my Nikon Z6 fitted with 70-200mm lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get a good snow exposure I dialed in ‘+3’ to the expose compensation, which helps keep the snow white. I metered manually with the in-camera ‘matrix meter’, then set both shutter speed and aperture manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although I set the camera’s focas point, I let the Nikon’s autofocus system work as intended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a few instances, I hiked into locations to get the best angle where the snow was the deepest. On more than one occasion I found myself up to my hips in snow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a good day out with the plow!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A couple of weeks ago, I put together a video for Conway Scenic on the operation of the plow. This was mostly filmed in 2021. It is available on You Tube at: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bp5Qg-5_B6M<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
