I conducted my first evening class at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania on Wednesday February 4th. My goal was to impart low-light photography techniques that would enable students to make better nocturnal railway images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After my presentation, the museum’s main hall was open to students to make photographs. Museum Director Pat Morrison and I had set up some portable lights on several locomotives to provide a change of scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an effort to capture the spirit of the event, I made these images using my Nikon Z6 with 24-70mm lens positioned on a 3Pod tripod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My next class at the museum is scheduled for the morning of March 10, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
