05-14-2022 - Benching Freights in SoCal with New Friends!
Had an awesome day today, but. I didn't need to dig another hole to get myself out of. I have enough work to keep me busy for a while. This was supposed to be my "catch-up weekend" I'm working on the next video, I have almost 600 photos on flickr to ID writers on, and I have a book project I'm working on. But... I got the chance to hang out with "Railroad Fans of the Cajon Pass & Buddy" for a couple hours today. So I grabbed my gear and headed out. Really cool, chill dude, and Buddy, well, he's a vicious beast !! If you want to loose a hand, try and pet him!! Foaming at the mouth, growling, etc. Like a smaller, meaner version of Cujo !!! Good Luck to you..
We hit a couple spots, but I only had luck at two. I pride myself in nice sharp flicks, but I ended up throwing out a bunch today because they were blurry. And all of them were shot on my 16mm lens. All settings the same as when I shoot on the 23, but for some reason shutter speeds were low, and I wasn't paying enough attention, so...... slightly blurry photos. There were some nice pieces in there, but who wants blurry graff flicks?! The 23mm is my go-to lens, but I need to figure out this 16mm issue. When you get home and start seeing blurry flicks, it almost makes you sick to your stomach, thinking the whole day has been ruined, but usually it's just a few shots and nothing major. And that's what happened today. Not all was lost.
Saw some awesome pieces, got out of the house, and made two new friends.
