Here’s a nocturnal view from January 12, 2007, that I exposed in Rattenberg, Austria on Fujichrome slide film .

At the time, I was aiming to portray the ÖBB local passenger train in its environment and made several very similar color slides.

My feeling today is that I included too much ‘environment,’ and that the train is too small in the frame.

While I won’t throw this slide in the bin, the composition vexes me.

Sometimes the best lesson is a careful impartial examination of an imperfect photograph.

My next class at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania covers night photography techniques. This will be held at the museum in Strasburg, Pa., on Wednesday, Feb 4 from 5 pm to 7 pm EST.
