Classic Location: West Warren, Massachusetts.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Waterfall_West_Warren_vert_IMG_9194\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sometimes familiar locations\u00a0work best. In the past, I\u2019ve made many photographs along the Boston & Albany at West Warren, the combination of easy of access, scenic environment, identifiable scene, and excellent afternoon lighting continue to make it one of my favorite places to photograph Amtrak\u2019s Lake Shore Limited,<\/em> train 449.<\/p>\n

The afternoon of October 12th<\/sup> was clear and bright with hints of autumn color tinged in the trees. My father and I opted to intercept 449\u2014one of the few trains running at that time of the day on a Sunday\u2014and so we put ourselves in position on the road bridge near the old mill race. After a short wait the train came into view.<\/p>\n

I worked with my Canon EOS 7D and Lumix LX7, my father exposed a photo using his vintage Rolleiflex Model T on a Gitzo tripod, and used his Lumix LX7, plus Minolta Mark IV light meter and various other bits and pieces.<\/p>\n
