Over the last few days I’ve been reviewing thousands of my photos of Union Pacific trains for consideration in a book that I’m completing on the railroad. Consider the photo below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Six years ago, I was poised at Woodford, California along the former Southern Pacific in the Tehachapis to photograph an ascending Union Pacific freight heading toward Tehachapi Summit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leading was a clean SD70ACe with UP’s bold wings painted on the front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made a sequence of images as the train passed. This one caught my eye because it really shows the sharp angles of this powerful diesel-electric at work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The contrast between the sunlit locomotive nose and the inky shadows along the side the locomotive combined with a little telephoto compression helped make for a more dramatic image. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Would an evenly lit photo have the same effect?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
