The blue hues of evening offer a wonderful time to photograph idling locomotives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photographer Tim Doherty, arrived at the junction at Coteau, Quebec in time to make the most of dusk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A set of Canadian National GP9RM diesels were resting between runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made this view on Fujichrome with a Nikon F3 and a telephoto lens mounted firmly on a tripod. Here’s a tip: when making this type of photograph, despite the need for a long exposure, it is better to lean toward over exposure than risk losing data to the inky blackness of under exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This slide was among those that sat in the dark for more than twenty years. Last week, I scanned with my Nikon LS5000 scanner, and processed the TIF file uisng Adobe Lightroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is complicated lighting situation; two distinct types of artificial light mixed with the blue glow of dusk. The harsh yellowing sodium-vapor lighting is especially problematic.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
