Here’s a lesson in snow photography:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bright snow, black locomotive and arctic cold. The contrast between light and dark was a challenge, but the largest difficulty was the fine snow blowing across the open landscape, which blurred the hightlights and muted shadows in unexpected ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The raw cold hit me like a razor which made it difficult to think straight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet, through it all, I persevered and made this sequence of Strasburg Rail Road 475 running tender first leading a mid-day train toward Leaman Place, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
