So we drove to Leaman Place to roll by Amtrak <em>Keystone<\/em> 649 on its run from Philadelphia to Harrisburg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I made a sequence of photos with my Nikon Z7-II. When I reviewd the images I wasn&#8217;t 100 percent satisfied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, the sun was perfect. The sky was clear and cloudless. The train was running locomotive first and clean. The foreground was free from obstructions. My camera performed flawlessly. The lens was sharp and the autofocus was spot on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what&#8217;s wrong? For example in the first photo, I&#8217;d like to see the locomotive slightly further in the frame to block the shadow to the left of engine nose . And, I wished I&#8217;d shown just a little more of the catenary mast on the right. Just little picky details. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On refection, I thought, what if that had been a Pennsylvania Railroad GG1 electric with a classic passenger train? Well then I&#8217;d be absolutely delighted with these photos! So there&#8217;s that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"474\" height=\"368\" data-attachment-id=\"36895\"
