Last summer, Kris, Seamus-the-dog and I caught Strasburg Rail Road’s evening train returning from Leaman Place from a vantage point along Esbenshade Road. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I exposed this photograph on Kodak Ektachrome 100 color slide film using a Nikon F3 with f2.0 35mm lens. To make the most of the foreground crops, I made an off-center composition with engine 89 at the center left of the image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ektachrome allows for traditional color rendition and contrast that I find distinctive from modern digital images. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This film was processed by AgX Imaging of Sault Saint Marie, Michigan (https:\/\/www.agximaging.com<\/a>) and returned to me last week. I scanned the original photograph using my Nikon LS-5000 slide scanner driven by VueScan 9.8.49 software. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
