UP #844 - Hermann

Union Pacific 4-8-4 Northern #844 on the 2016 "Trek to Tennessee" Special traveling between Jefferson City, MO and St. Louis, MO on October 18, 2016.

 

After making the stop in Hermann, the 844 continues east past the high Kallmeyer's Bluff.

 

Here's where things went a little off the rails for me (so to speak) as I had some bad luck with the sun that was darting in and out from under the clouds. Just moments before this shot, the sun was behind a cloud and I had adjusted my exposure. Then it popped back out, requiring another. By the time it reached the point of just before the trees, it was back behind the clouds again and the exposure on my shots at that point were off again.

 

This ended up being the best of a bad lot. While not exactly where I wanted the train for composition, the sun is at least out and the exposure is at least pretty good (with a little help from my friend, Photoshop)
