Last Saturday, Kris, Seamus-the-dog and I caught up with our friend and fellow photographer Pat Yough at Esbenshade Road in Strasburg to watch and photograph the railroad’s Santa Paradise Express<\/em> trains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seamus enjoyed watching the trains pass from the safety of our car as we made photographs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clear winter sun and brisk conditions made for stunning displays of steam and smoke. I exposed these photos with my Nikon Z7-II, but also made images with my Z6-III and my dad’s old Leica M4 (loaded with Kodak Ektachrome). Kris worked with her FujiFilm X-T4 digital camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
