Riders on the Storm
It has about a month since temperatures here in Virginia have dipped below 70, and seemingly every evening brings with it the chance of severe storms. Such was the case on this evening at long bridge, where the nice light of golden hour gradually transitioned into storm lighting. The good thing here is it's so busy, you have a good opportunity to take advantage of it. Shooting passenger ops, or "window trains" as a friend of mine says, normally isn't my thing. But when the light's this good, I don't mind capturing one of the many VRE trains shuttling outbound commuters during the evening rush. Sometimes a train, any train, will do for what you need- and this was certainly one of those cases.
