danac Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 This is the Snowy Range in the Medicine Bow Mountains west of Laramie, Wyoming a couple weeks ago. The camera was an A-1 with 50mm 1.4 on Tri-X. The cliffs there are quartzite which makes them so shiny. I used an orange filter for contrast. 5 A book's a great place to hide out in - Trevanian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuck909 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Two of my favorites in one photo, Big Boy and wife Carol. Canon EF, FD 28 f2.0, Tri-X. Photo taken in Bruno, MN, population 99 in normal times, 1000 that day. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danac Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 (edited) There is no more beautiful man made sound than a steam engine whistling for a crossing on a quiet night. I'm old enough to remember steam on the mainline of the Grand Trunk Western. 4014 is a magisterial monument to one of the greatest accomplishments of the human race. Deb and I will have to get up to the Cheyenne roundhouse one of these days and admire this wonderful restoration. Please post more images if it.

John Crowe Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Canon FD 800mm f5.6 L with a Canon EF 1.4x teleconverter on a Canon EOS 5DS R. I know, a bit of a Frankenstein's monster. Thin adapter does not allow focus to infinity but long enough until I do the EdMika adaptation. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danac Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 I went back a few years looking at the monthly photo threads and noticed that folks used to post a lot more images. With that in mind here is another Snowy Range photo. 2 A book's a great place to hide out in - Trevanian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rick_janes Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 That same Union Pacific Big Boy is scheduled to run a couple of fan excursions in Southern California on October 12 & 13, so it'll be on the move for several days before and after. While U.P. hasn't published a schedule and route yet they will, and you can look for it here: 2019 Union Pacific Steam Schedule From past U.P. Steam excursions I expect this one to enter California at Nipton, then proceeding through Kelso on its way to the Cajon Pass. Photo opportunities will be plentiful! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deb and I will have to get up to the Cheyenne roundhouse one of these days and admire this wonderful restoration. Please post more images if it. OK - a couple more. Not the greatest photos I have ever taken, though. One gives a good idea of the crowd in this tiny town of 99 souls. The other shows what they had to do every 150 miles or so. Oh yeah, I do remember the steams days, too (just barely) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
