Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken at Oaks Park in Portland,OR during the annual Christmas train trips. You buy a ticket for the day and time that best suits your schedule. It is a short run but a chance to be behind SP&S 700 and ride in vintage coaches.Time
This particular trip was early afternoon and it had been raining but cleared.Lighting
It was just a gamble on lighting as it was not a good opportunity to have a lot of equiptment on hand.Equipment
On this trip I used my Samsung WB1100F with and without a flash depending on the lighting. The camera also has a zoom lens that let me get a closer view as the engine was moving.Inspiration
I like trains both taking their photo or riding.Editing
I do very little processing. I like the natural look.In my camera bag
I have a Nikon D80, tripods, Samsung camera and a Smartphone and an IPad at my disposal.Feedback
I try and capture scenes that are of interest to me. And it sometimes takes more than one visit if possible as long as the subject remains to be photographed.or taking more than one photo.
