Oooo, love the PP on the waiting train CDalessandro. Care to share some of your technique?
We are starting to see some of those new diesels on our Metrolink system here in the Los Angeles/Orange County area. How long is that train from Albuquerque to Santa Fe. I would think that is a bit long for a commuter.
just a couple from downtown - without any manipulation in photoshop or anything. I'm nowhere near as good as you guys, but I've been lurking for years without posting, so I figured I would serve something up from my 10d and 50/f1.8 :-)
Here's one from Thailand, shot with D80 and 70-300 ED @ 250mm and f/8, and no, I didn't apply the Photoshop "Bumpy Railway Filter". The tracks here actually look like that
I finally got enough motivation to look for some old shots from about 2-3 years ago just after I got my (then) new 20D. I wish I could go back now that I have much more experience on shooting digital. I know I could do WAY better now. Anyway, these were taken at the Pacific Southwest Railroad Museum in Campo California. PSRM
Here is the nose of a SP GP-9 in the 'Black Widow' Paint scheme from a 1942 passenger car that was attached for the excursion. http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll134/fishytraveler/3873nose_Campo.jpg
When we got to the end of the excursion, the diesel unhooked off the lead, went on the siding to the lead end of the train for the ride home. So, here is a shot of the diesel as it was moving on a siding to the head of train for the ride back to the museum. http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll134/fishytraveler/3873onTracks_Campo.jpg
And one of a old UP Caboose but I really liked the advert on the side. http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll134/fishytraveler/HaveTrainUP_Campo.jpg
One of these days, I will get back there for many more shots. Of course, I will share
Well past time that I posted here again. Always seem to find something else to do but it's fun to come back to this thread and see what's new.
These GMD-1 locomotives are a special class originally built for use on the lightly tracked Northern Alberta Railway. They no longer serve there and have been dispersed all across Canada on CN's system. Originally built with A1A trucks most have been retrucked to a more standard B-B configuration. I've managed to get several photos of them in various locations but I have yet to manage a shot that shows the trucks. I caught this one sitting on the CN main line a mile east of Fort Langley, B.C. http://lkeithr.zenfolio.com/img/v1/p534331654-4.jpg
Keith, that looks like the Edsel of diesels with that prominent nose.
Quite unusual though as it almost looks like th enumber boards and lights were an afterthought. Great capture of a unique diesel.
