The final stop on our journey around the Eastport Branch is the rugged scenery of Crawford Notch, New Hampshire. The Maine Central’s Mountain Division tracks are carved along the side of the notch, and are perhaps the most rugged and scenic section of main line railroading east of the Rocky Mountains, and is the place legends are made of. Snows come early here in the notch, sometimes making an October appearance while the last of the autumn leaves are still on the trees. With winter blizzards, snow is measured in many feet, and requires the constant plowing and reopening of the vital east west line from the port of Portland, Maine to St. Johnsbury, Vt. So come stay awhile, and watch as generations of Maine Central trains pass through the notch, as we await the trains by the famous Willey Brook bridge.
Photographing this section of the Eastport branch is particularly challenging as the depth of the scene is only six inches from the fascia panel to the wall, and trying to consolidate several miles of extremely interesting mountain railroad into an eight foot long section, is the grand art of compromise.
Big Sur is a place of rugged, even brutal, beauty, as recognized by writers, poets and photographers over the last hundred years. We might wistfully imagine a life in this place but that life comes with the price of exposure to fires, landslides and road collapses. Living a continent away on the East Coast, I'm constantly drawn to the Central Coast, but never plan a trip there without checking on road closures and fires.
A little product photography practice, with a new best friend ;)

My RTS is finally complete. New skins from Hugo Studio (Custom Camera Covers) and this classy half-case from TP Original (Martin Duke Shop on Etsy). The color is "volcano" and I like the contrast between the vivid tan and the black.

This light bulb is more than 40 years old. I “discovered’ it in my basement during cleanup. Its highly reflective surface provided a fascinating challenge. After some experimentation, I ended up placing it under sunlight next to a window. The resulting shot showed a rich combination of colours, with the reflections of the window contrasting the lighted filament. The black background further accentuated overall effects.
