“All men and equipment are in the clear. You may proceed, through my work authority, at the maximum speed permitted for your train. This is what you would have heard on the railroad radio a short time before the train passed the signalman. This is sort of how I feel about this project. When I first started the project I struggled to find an image each day. After nearly a month I am starting to see images all around me. As today, I went out to shoot an image and the lighting was really bad. As I was leaving I noticed the signalman and approaching train.
My trouble is the implementation of the capture. In this case I have two very bad mistakes. First, is I should have used a much slower shutter speed to show the train speeding by. The second is I think I needed to shoot wider and included more of the signalman’s truck. After I get a better hold of implementation, I will venture back into photoshop. All images so far were shot RAW converted using Canon’s DPP then cropped, resized and sharpened.
After an absence from doing photography on a regular basis I decided to do a-picture-a-day-for-a-year project. As a direction I am attempting to use modern images where possible to relate times in my photographic past. As I am no longer a spring chicken, I can get philosophical some times. As a Christian I often see God possibly using me and my photography to send short messages. I hope you enjoy these images as much as I have enjoyed making them around Monroe, NC. TheElmo
