My photography for Conway Scenic Railroad often focuses on the people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The train crew are the faces of the railroad and are often featured in the company’s social media and advertising. Not everyone likes to be pictured, so I tend to focus on those who don’t mind my camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week, fine Spring weather made for some great light to photograph railroaders at work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I often use short telephoto lenses and wide f-stops for shallow focus to better set the people apart from the background. In post processing I soften contrast and lighten shadows to make for more flattering images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
