On September 2, 1991, at Dunsmuir, California, I made a series of pan photos of the famous Southern Pacific streamlined ‘Daylight’ 4-8-4, engine 4449.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this image, I was attempting to catch a broadside view of the engine in motion with the driving rods down. While, I captured the rods down, I managed to clip the front of the locomotive and was a bit over enthusiastic pressing the shutter release, so the whole photo suffers from motion blur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My exposure was f13 (recorded as ‘11.5’) at 1\/30th of second. Kodachrome 25 slide film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not ever photo wins the prize. This is a qualified ‘fail’. Live and learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
