Remarks & Notes

Timber on the move. Santa Maria Valley 2-6-2 #205 is on the move with a load of heavy timber as she rumbles across the wooden trestle spanning the South Santiam River, headed north out of Lebanon, OR on the Albany & Eastern Railroad.

This image was captured on a Lerro Photography charter night session which featured both static shots and run-bys and fixed, LED "hot-lights." This particular scene, with a moving train, was primarily intended for videographers, but I decided to give it a shot with my Nikon Z9, hand-held at 6400 ISO and 1/30th of a second at f/4, panning with the train. The body stabilization and high ISO performance of mirrorless cameras is getting pretty good. With good quality lighting, a tripod is really no longer necessary for shooting at night.

Good Light, Good Scenery, and a Train Album created by member Lee Kirchhoff	Album Views: 78,705
Landscape photography is difficult due to the challenge of combining good light and good scenery. Good railroad photography enters another level of complexity since it requires the first two while there is a train in view.

A continuously growing album of photos that IMHO reveal the awesome and seldom-seen beauty of the railroad world from the dimming of day to dawn's early light! From dusk to dawn, trains roll on! (I'm still finding gems of sunset-to-sunrise surprises!)
