Tracking the Light presents three photos: a Classic station and a short freight.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Pat Yough and I arrived at the grade crossing in Tamaqua, Pennsylvania just as the gates came down. Lucky me! My goal was to photograph the old Reading Company station for a new book I\u2019m putting together. This was a bonus.<\/p>\n

\"I'd<\/a>
I’d only just arrived in Tamaqua a few minutes before exposing this image. I’d never before been to this Pennsylvania town, so when the gates came down, it was a matter of jumping out and looking around as the train approached. Fuji X-T1 with 18-55mm lens.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Acting quickly, I positioned myself for a few images. Since, I\u2019d never been to Tamaqua before, I didn\u2019t have much time to find photographic angles. Luckily the train stopped, which gave us time to expose a few more photos.<\/p>\n

\"Puddles<\/a>
Puddles make for great reflective tools! Reading & Northern local freight at Tamaqua, Pennsylvania.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"I<\/a>
I positioned Pat Yough’s X-T1 on a tripod and waited for dusk\u2014one of my favorite times to photograph old railway stations. Tamaqua’s classic Italianate style structure was decorated for the season. Daylight white balance.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After the short freight departed we waited for dusk to make night shots of the station, which was my original plan.<\/p>\n
