Sunlight on a Commuter Train.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

It was extraordinarily cold when Pat Yough, Chris Guss and I set out to photograph Toronto\u2019s morning rush hour.<\/p>\n

One of the biggest challenges working in very cold weather is the effect on battery life. After a couple of hours, almost all my batteries were dead. We made a mid morning trip back to our hotel to charge batteries.<\/p>\n

\"Toronto<\/a>
Toronto bound GO Transit train near Sunnyside on February 8, 2010. I exposed this view on Fujichrome using my Canon EOS 3 with a 200mm lens.8<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For this photograph, I opted to center the locomotive, while setting it back in the frame. This adds visual tension and draws the eye in.<\/p>\n

Bright low sunlight reflecting from the white locomotive front made for a difficult exposure.<\/p>\n

Although, I pre-set the camera manually, I continued to make fine adjustments as the train approached. In the last instant before I released the shutter, I stopped down (reduced the exposure) to compensate for the bright front end.<\/p>\n
