Soo Line FP7: Classic Canon Files Revisited and Revitalized
On Christmas Day I decided to make a few photos of Seamus-the-dog with my old Canon EOS-7D. I’d bought this digital camera back in June 2010, and for nearly five years it was my primary digital image making tool. When, I went to download the camera, I found a variety of older files that I’d ‘locked’ onto the camera’s CF card. Although these images have been preserved elsewhere on hard drives, I…
30th Street on this day Ten Years Ago.
On December 21, 2015, I exposed this photo of Amtrak’s Christmas Tree at Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station using my Lumix LX7. I processed the original Lumix RAW file using PureRaw. This shows the entire image capture, which owing to the pecularities of the lens design produces an oddly shape field of view. I imported the PureRaw conversion into LightRoom and cropped it to produce a classic…
Viennese Night Photos-Revisited
I was searching through my hard drives for some photos when I came across a large batch of unidentified images from a trip to Austria in October 2016. This was a very productive adventure, but I never properly sorted my photos. I made these on a rainy night using my Fuji X-T1 with 28mm pancake lens with the camera set to 1600 ISO—which was just about as fast as I’d push the camera. I imported…

Bridge Fantasy Silhouette
On occasion I’ll make some heavy adjustments to photo to create a vision, an interpretation, and perhaps something more than just a straight unfettered image of reality. Working from an RAF RAW file I exposed of the railway bridge and famous Dom in Köln in September 2016, I made series of alterations to compose a fantasy image. First step was to convert the image to a DNG file using PureRaw.…

Washington Boro, Again
Kris suggested we make a foray to look for a freight train. So, we were driving around in the darkness near Columbia. During our last few visits to the Port Road Branch we’ve found Norfolk Southern trains on the move between 9:30 and 10:30pm. I investigated a few places to make night photos near Marietta. Not one to my liking. And then I thought I heard a distant whistle. Sometimes its best to…
LA Gold Line at First Street Bridge
Yesterday, Kris and I went to see the new film Freakier Friday starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan, and we really enjoyed the story. One of the scenes in the film features the First Street Bridge with a Los Angeles Metrorail Gold Line lightrail train, and I thought I’d review a few photos that I made there nine years ago using my old FujiFilm XT1 with 18-135mm lens. To improve on the…
Variation on the Glint at Jefferson Drive
During the early summer, the evening sun sets north of Amtrak’s Harrisburg Line. The combination of the angle of light and pollution lingering in the western sky makes for some excellent evening glint. We paused at our usual place at Jefferson Drive in Greenfield, east of downtown Lancaster, Pa., and here I caught Amtrak’s westward Keystone train 653 that was running just a few minutes behind…
Eastbound on a Hazy Evening
The other night, Kris and I paid a sponaneous visit to my old stomping grounds at Palmer, Mass. While the New England Central was switching the former Central Vermont Railway yard, we could hear an approaching eastbound freight on CSX’s former Boston & Albany. I set up my 3pod tripod on the platform of the old Union Station (now Palmer’s popular Steaming Tender restaurant), and exposed a…
