Father + Son Light Painting
We put a couple glow sticks in the front window and a Maglight with a red reflector over it in the side window.
I "painted" the front of the house and Brandon "painted" the back ruins with flashlights.
Rare catch. This car has a throwback paint scheme for the Wisconsin State Patrol that was used from the 1960s to the 1980s. Also rare to see is a Chevrolet Caprice for the State Patrol.
Wisconsin & Southern units 3803, 3810, 4010 & 3809 lead a lengthy train near Waupun, Wisconsin on February 17, 2016. I believe this was a combination of trains L595 & L597.

I shot this image while visiting my mom in Wisconsin USA about 1987 (give or take maybe 5 years) as a tranny with a Minolta. In 2000, as a test, I digitized the tranny with my 3mp Nikon 990 (my first digi-cam) for which I had a very cool attachment for shooting slides. That digitized image has been in my archives for 18 years.
A few days ago I was strolling through a folder with a few hundred of the old Nikon 990 images, looking at my kids when young, family dogs, vacations, my old house, lighting tests, textures and abstracts (not unlike what I'd shoot these days), etc.
When I saw that shot below in jjjohn's photostream, it instantly reminded me of my Wisconsin shot, and I got inspired to post it.
I didn't have time to go track down the tranny, so I opened the scan done by the Nikon 990. It was a measly 1600x1300 pixels. Fortunately, low-res life is pretty good these days. First I ran it through Topaz A.I Clear to improved the noise, then used the amazing Topaz A.I. Gigapixel to up the res by 400% to 6300x5200 pixels. A bit of retouching in Photoshop and it was ready to rock-n-roll!
I have always been interested in the dome of Wisconsin's capitol. It has been challenging to go back through my images and improve them. I hope you enjoy this one.
Please click on the image to take a look at it on black. It really is worth the click.
A Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern unit along with a Soo Line locomotive lead a very short Canadian Pacific eastbound across the Wisconsin River at Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin on April 18, 2015.
Canadian Pacific rock train, led by 4405 in Soo Line paint, charges westward out of Columbus, Wisconsin with 11 cars in tow on a steamy July 17, 2015.
The WC shield, a bit battered, and bruised, but still proudly proclaiming its heritage, catches some late afternoon sun in the Waterville Yard. The 50' Plate C boxcars, once a staple of the midwest, have recently migrated east towards Pan Am, carrying SNC reporting marks (this one is SNC 21043). They have reinforced floors, and have a higher load weight for paper than the scores of old Maine Central and Boston & Maine boxcars that used to fill this role.
Amtrak PX923 - a special move of Talgo equipment bound for Seattle - crosses the Wisconsin River in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin on March 30, 2018. This is the rear portion of the train - it was led by Amtrak locomotive 161.
Wisconsin & Southern train L355 passes a dairy farm as it climbs away from Juda, Wisconsin on the Monroe Subdivision on a very mild January 27, 2018.
This was captured on the farm that my mother had grown up on. When I took her back to visit her brother last year she wanted to revisit where she grew up & we ended up stopping at the house & the current owners were thrilled to talk with my mom. It was a thrill for her also, not really sure with her getting up in age if will make it back to the area.
