BNSF 1571 leading a 5 unit lash-up, pops into the late afternoon sun as it cants hard into the high speed curve west of Catoosa, Oklahoma.

The Fireman gives me the obligatory eye-ball to be sure that the only thing I'm shooting way out here is a camera.  9/14/1998, three years after the BN/SF merger.

Canon A-1,  FDn 50/1.4,  Kodachrome 64. (processed by Kodalux, Dallas, Tx. :classic_smile:)

Spectacular display of the Northern Lights last night.  Unfortunately, clouds moved in for us, but I did manage to take a few pics.  The sensor sees more than the human eye, but the colors are good. A lot of reds!  Canon RP with FD 35/2.0.

I've had the T6i since 2016 but neglected it after 2018 when film processing was revisited. That marvelous FDn Macro 50/3.5 was my wife's favorite lens back when she so ably employed an AE-1. Since I almost invariably expose only black and white landscapes in film cameras, the macro was not used for decades. Now I've got a "new" toy and adapter to play with that doesn't involve negatives, chemicals, tanks, trays, enlarger and print paper. Yesterday was my first attempt with it. I didn't quite know what I was doing so I set the camera meter and lens to manual and got some okay results. Digital is so easy it feels like cheating. And there is the immediate gratification factor.
