Summary

[edit]
Description

Drove all the way out to a spot I used to go to watch trains years ago. (like 25 years ago) There was a little restaurant next to the tracks that had burgers, tacos, and beer. We'd go up there and order our tacos and a pitcher of beer and sit outside on the patio on the benches, and bench railcars going by looking for cool graffiti. There were five rails that converged in this one spot, so trains were coming through about once every 5-10 minutes. I never brought a camera and never really even thought about taking photos of the graffiti. That place was torn down years ago to build a bridge, and it's a lot harder to access that location now and there were railroad workers on that side working. I ended up on the other side of the tracks and waited for over 2 hours, and NO TRAINS. WTF? So I ended up heading the other direction and finding some cars parked. By the time I shot those cars, I saw the lights of a train coming from the other direction, sped up there go out and grabbed some shots of one on the move.

Today I brought out two cameras and two lenses. Fujifilm X-E3, and Fujifilm X-Pro1. Two lenses. 23mm Fuji f/2, and an old Helios 58mm F/2 with m42 to X-mount adapter. Shot a few with the 58mm, but it was just too long. Most of today's shots were with the 23mm on either the Fuji bodies.

Had Fun.
