The days are getting shorter. You can see it in the evening sky. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet, the sunsets are vivid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been looking for ways to better feature the color position light signal at milepost 64.5 near Greenfield in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made this view with my Nikon Z7-II and Nikkor Z-series 70-200mm lens of Amtrak Keystone <\/em>train 653 racing west by the signal. This train had Amtrak’s ACS-64 electrics at both ends; locomotive 621 was leading westbound; and 668 was at the back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d guess that something was amiss with the former Metroliner cab car at the westend of the train. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this instance because the signal is the subject, I picked a trailing angle and selected a slower ISO setting and comparatively slow shutter speed to allow the train a little bit of motion blur, while keeping the signal sharp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I try this again, I may zoom in tighter on the signal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is just a cropped and adjusted view of the photo at center above. However, it approximates how large I’d like to frame the signal in a future image.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
