On a blustery winter morning I find it nice to look through photos made on warm summer afternoons.<\/p>\n

In June 2010, I had just bought my Canon EOS 7D DSLR (digital single lens reflex) and made\u00a0an extended drive around the Midwest to visit friends, gather materials for a book, and test the camera. This went on for several weeks.<\/p>\n

On the afternoon of June 24th<\/sup>, I revisited familiar territory along the Mississippi River at Savanna. Not yet fully trusting the digital camera, I exposed a number of slides from the top of the bluff.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>
A BNSF double stack container train works along the former Burlington main line near Savanna, Illinois. Exposed with a Canon EOS 7D with 100-400mm lens set at 150mm. ISO 200.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Trailing<\/a>
Trailing view of the same stack train; exposed my new EOS 7D with 400mm lens set at 235mm. ISO 200.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I made this pair of images from river level\u00a0of an eastward BNSF double stack was headed toward Chicago.<\/p>\n

Of the two, I much prefer the second photo. For me this better portrays the railroad in its environment with a variety of secondary subjects to add interest.<\/p>\n
