My 'oldies' again - When the same thing happens every single day, you sometimes try to be a little different.. or well, this is my attempt at being a little different with the frame train, in the country using the scenery to my advantage. Every day, at about 0800 the frame train, with auto frames from St. Thomas for Oshawa would roll east on the Galt sub near Galt/Guelph Jct and it usually had the same pair of 60 MPH rated gp9's for months at a time. Mundane? Yes, but boring? No. I knew the geeps on this train , at speed, were special. It sounded special. Heck, the sweet morning light looked special, if you knew how to take advantage of it. Trust me, back then, I really didn't.. i was just shooting... I made so many mistakes. This is one of the few photos of this train that turned out :)Photo notes: 50mm f/1.8, Nikon D70. This location is all grown in now.. at least for this angle.
