Wonderful composition, color, and light! Were it a cleaner locomotive, I'd guess it to be Coster PR photo-work. It's great that your photos stand out, no matter on which coast you have your camera!

Gorgeous light and scene, PCA voted. Well done!
|
A typical shot from you. Beautiful lighting, fabulous sky, and spot on with the train positioning!
|
PCA voted here, excellent work.

If this is a southbound train, then this is the Atlantic Ocean. Del Mar is north of San Diego. I lived there, & it would need to be headed the other direction to be pushing south.
|
Steve, I'm super confused why you would say that must be the Atlantic ocean. I'm standing on the east side of the tracks looking south, and the train is heading away from me, with its marker lights on.

I'll second the second, third and fourth comments! Spectacular! Right place, right time, right photographer!
|
so this train, while it appears to be going forward, is really going backward?!?!
|
Yeah, the train is going "backwards." They operate in push/pull service, so the locomotive is always on one end, and the train doesn't turn. So in this case, to catch the locomotive at this angle, I was shooting the train as it was going away from me.
|
Very nice. You and Ilya Seminoff have a similar processing style that I really enjoy. Beautiful colors carefully balanced.
|
I thought it was pretty clear that "pushing" means the locomotive is pushing the train, hence it going away from the photographer.
Anyway, nice shot, Emily. :-)

Jim the caption said "Pushes" not "pushing" but that's no matter, your comment is decipherable.
