\nEthereal View at Millers Falls<\/a>, January 2014.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Tim Doherty asked me a few weeks back, \u201cHave you ever tried a shot from the north side of the Millers Falls high bridge?\u201d I\u2019d looked a this several times, but was discouraged by the row of trees between the road and the railroad bridge<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So, on January 12, 2014, at the end of the day (light), Tim and I went to this location with the aim of making images of Amtrak\u2019s northward Vermonter crossing the aged Central Vermont<\/a> span.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As there was only a hint of light left, I upped the ISO sensitivity of my Canon EOS 7D<\/a> and I switched the color balance to \u2018tungsten\u2019 (indoor incandescent lighting which has the same effect as using tungsten balance slide film (such as Fujichrome<\/a> 64T), and so enhances the blue light of the evening.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A call to Amtrak\u2019s Julie (the automated agent) confirmed the train was on-time out of Amherst<\/a>. Running time was only about 20 minutes (a bit less than I thought) but we were in place, cameras on tripods, several minutes before we heard the Vermonter blasting for crossings in Millers Falls.<\/p>\n

The result is interpretive. The train\u2019s blur combined with view through the trees and the deep blue color bias makes for a ghostly image of the train crossing the bridge.<\/p>\n
