The grime of mud season has been washed away and the crisp Spring evening sun makes for some nice light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I arrived at Jefferson Drive about five minutes before Amtrak Keystone <\/em>658 was due to pass. (It takes about three minutes to reach this location after departing the Amtrak station in Lancaster, Pa.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A month ago, I was framing up photos to make the most of evening glint. This time of year, by the time 658 passes the sun is still high in the western sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than make a hard glint photo, I opted for a broadside view to make the most of the bright specular light. I set my Nikon Z6-III with a comparatively slow shutter speed (1\/250th) in order to make a panned photo making use of speed blur to help separate the Amtrak electric locomotive from the foreground and background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are three photos exposed in rapid succession as the train raced east.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
