Album Info:It was either do "head on" shots like everyone else, or broadside. With the train heading northbound, the nose of the locomotive would be back lit by the sun, and therefore dark. I chose broadside with the wide anlge lens. Actually, I have my boy Joe LoGiudice run the a900 camera with the 28-75, while I worked my a99V with my 70-400 F4-5.6 in video mode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpvFlObgNZM I've been itching to see what that body / lens combo could do on video, and damn if I'm not impressed. To do this, I needed to find a location sufficiently away from the tracks and illuminated on the west side by the afternoon sun. Several years ago, Deb & I went to pick up some commercially de-certified fire extinguishers - I remembered this field but was not too certain where.. Searching on Google Maps, I located it at the northwest intersection of Lometa Lane and Old Highway 6 in the neighborhood of Lake Millican Estates. Listening to the scanner, when it hit the MP 59.5 defect detector, there was integrity failure, train speed 6 miles an hour, 75 axles and the temperature 20 degrees. Yeah, I think it's safe to say that defect detector needs a tune up.
