It was a heavy hazy day at Council Bluffs in August 1998, when I made a few photos of Union Pacific E9 949.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working with a Nikon N90s fitted with a Nikkor f2.8 80-200mm lens, I first made a ‘telewedge’\u2014a cute name for a three-quarter ‘wedgie’ style roster shot that was exposed with a telephoto lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then I made a few close ups from essentially the same vantage point, but using a even longer telephoto setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I scanned these Provia 100 RDP II slides using a Nikon LS-5000 slide scanner powered by VueScan 9.7.96 software using the ‘fine’ mode and 4,000 dpi, and ‘autolevels’ color balance. Although scaled for internet presentation, I made no adjustments to color balance, color temperature, contrast, exposure or sharpness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
