Simply catching a work train on the roll is only half the fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seeking out its work area and photographing it in action tells a story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week, I exposed these action photos of Conway Scenic Railroad’s Work Extras at work along the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My cameras of choice for these images are my Nikon Z-series mirrorless digital. With a 24-70mm zoom on one, and a 70-200mm zoom on the other I have great flexibilty for making photos of trains and people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only problem is the weight! These cameras are fairly heavy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the images were processed from Nikon NEF RAW files using Adobe Lightroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using a comapartively slow shutter speed allows the falling ballast stones to blur, which helps convey the sense of motion and working being accomplished. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On my wee Reading Company, I have a 1:87 scale Baltimore & Ohio hopper similar in pattern to this full size B&O hopper at Conway Scenic.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
