Conrail westbound freight on September 23, 1997.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Looking back, I\u2019ve found that 1997 was an extraordinarily busy year for me photographically. I spent a lot of time traveling and exposed more than 500 rolls of slide film. That’s a lot of slides<\/p>\n

This image\u00a0was made\u00a0on one of several of my week-long trips to Pennsylvania. On this day I’d\u00a0followed the old Pennsylvania Railroad Middle Division. The railroad was busy and there were\u00a0lots of opportunity to make photos.<\/p>\n

I exposed\u00a0this vertical view of a westward Conrail freight near the Spruce Creek tunnels using my N90S with an f1.8 105mm lens.<\/p>\n

\"Exposed<\/a>
Exposed at 9:42am on September 23, 1997 on Fujichrome Provia 100F color slide film using an Nikon N90S fitted with a manual focus Nikkor f1.8 105mm lens set at f2 at 1\/250th of a second. Scanned with a Epson 600 scanner with contrast and color balance adjusted in post processing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here\u2019s some suggestions for better photos on dull days: try to work from locations with elevation and crop the sky (as much as possible). Also, if you pan a little, it helps to set the train\/locomotive apart from the background and has the effect of improving depth and minimizing the effect of low contrast lighting.<\/p>\n
