Photography is about light. The quality of light makes a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below are two photographs made at the same location on the same day and of two very similar trains but under very different lighting condtions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These were exposed on the same roll of Kodachrome 25 using my Nikon N90S near milepost 130 on Conrail’s former Boston & Albany mainline (less than a mile from the old Middlefield Station).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first shows a pair of SD80MAC leading symbol freight SEBO (Selkirk to Boston) in bright morning sun at 7:59am. The second shows Conrail symbol freight SESP (Selkirk to West Springfield yard) at 9:56am. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My notes from the day spelled out the difference in one word; “cloud<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kodachrome did not handle overcast situations well. Both photos are scaled RAW scans without any adjustment to color, exposure, contrast or sharpness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
