Part 2/3. As you can see in the first photo the lights were off on 236 as they had a meet coming, and quick. After capturing 236 grinding up the hill, I was able to capture 237 coming around the curve behind me, but I turned and captured this "meet shot" - while not exactly the way I'd like I kinda realize we don't have the luxury of time. But I had another goal in mind, and you'll see next week just how difficult the goal was in part 3/3. The truth is moving meet shots are one of the most difficult to get, and get right, you're basically at the mercy of what the Lord throws at you when it happens and your ability to navigate a camera and lens. How many times have you had an opportunity to shoot two moving trains and be in the right place right time? It's rare right?

  1. It starts to all come together now! Looking forward to seeing 3/3!

  2. I’d say you nailed that one. ;-)

  3. I should also note it seemed like 236 was going to stall.. he was still moving.. very very slowly.. wheels squealing..

  4. That was a good shot. Not much room to move around there. And a steep grade.
