The other night, Kris and I paid a sponaneous visit to my old stomping grounds at Palmer, Mass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the New England Central was switching the former Central Vermont Railway yard, we could hear an approaching eastbound freight on CSX’s former Boston & Albany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I set up my 3pod tripod on the platform of the old Union Station (now Palmer’s popular Steaming Tender restaurant), and exposed a sequence of photos of the passing train using my Nikon Z7-II with 24-70mm lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These images were made at 1\/15 second at ISO 1000. NEF Faw files were converted to DNG format pins DxO PureRaw software and then adjusted in Lightroom to alter color, contrast and exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wildfires in Canada contributed to haze that made for some interesting visual effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
