An article by By Patricia Harris and David Lyon in the Boston Globe Magazine features one of my photos of Conway Scenic’s Mountaineer<\/em> ascending Crawford Notch near the Arethusa Falls grade crossing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This image has been part of my autumn Mountaineer<\/em> repertoire for a while and is among photos I made of the train in autumn 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I exposed it with my Canon EOS7D with 100mm prime Canon telephoto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a wee secret: part of the visual success of this photo is that the nose of the engine is not the focal point. This a counter-intuitive trick I learned many years ago when exposing Kodachrome, and where many photographers miss the mark.
