Project Seven:
After pulling out of the Milby Street roundhouse via the spur track at right, a duo of BNSF SD40-2s makes the run down the West Belt to New South Yard, 2 miles south of here. 1751's Santa Fe yellowbonnet paint was a nice touch through the searchlight curve at CP Rusk.

Since the re-opening of the Oshawa GM plant, the Canadian Pacific Oshawa Turn has resumed with a fairly mixed bag of power. After taking way too long to see it with my own eyes, I managed to take this photograph of it crossing the Cherrywood trestle with a couple of oldies in the lead. The trailing SD40-2 would've been ideal, but I'll take 4514 any day of the week.

The 14K stamp on the inside of a gold ring, taken for the Macro Mondays group theme, "Stamp." The frame represents a span of ⅝ - of-an-inch across.
Strobist/technical info:
The scene was illuminated by two Nikon SB900 speedlights and an LED cube light. The SB900s were placed at 9- and 3-o'clock, twenty-inches above and thirty-inches away from the ring. They were fired in Manual mode @ 1⁄128 (CL) and 1⁄64 (CR) power respectively through Neewer 24" x 24" soft boxes. An LED cube was placed overhead and behind the ring to illuminate the background.
The SB900s were triggered by three PocketWizard Plus X flash triggers.
Lens: Reverse-mounted Nikon EL - Nikkor 50mm/f2.8 with a 36mm extension tube attached.

Pat Dougherty is one of those guys who makes mere mortals wonder why they're so lame. At least that's the effect he has on your author. Pat's happily married and has raised three kids, he can sing and act, his "Blues Patrol" Blues Brothers stage show has packed New England venues for 20 years, he's an ASA Certified master automotive technician, but most of all, Pat can draw cars.
No computers are involved, and he isn't the type to obtain realism via retouched digital photos. The only digital aspect of his drawings are his 10 fingers. Everything on the paper comes directly from his inquisitive and detail-oriented mind. Ever since elementary school art class, Pat's had an innate ability to create highly realistic renderings without much training beyond the usual public-school curriculum. But it was during architectural graphics class at Stamford High School (the same Connecticut public school that hatched star-crossed Hogan's Heroes star Bob Crane a generation earlier) where Pat says, "My teacher, Mr. Burkhardt, was very supportive and fed my interest with helpful commentary. It took off from there."
In particular, Pat's grasp of the technical sideline of drawing, as described with terms like "fineness of line," "perspective," "realism," "shading," and "proportion" is highly calibrated. Beyond that, his attention to realistic details like factory part numbers, correct surface textures, and—to this writer's opinion—getting the correct rocker panel "tuck under" or "fuselage effect" are what separate Pat's work from that of other automotive cartoonists. Check for yourself: too many automotive illustrators and cartoonists fail to properly capture the tube-like surface development of most automobile bodies. They're rendered with vertical slab sides that simply aren't correct. Dougherty's stuff differs.
After high school, Pat went to work at an architect's office. There, he "discovered the empty feeling of doing work that others took credit for." Following his passion for cars, he left the architect after a year and went to work at Fairbanks Racing Transmissions, a leading East Coast retailer of high-performance automatic transmissions and components. At Fairbanks, Pat did a lot of everything, from assembly to marketing to answering tech questions by phone. Yes, Pat even applied Fairbanks' trademark black tiger stripesoverCaterpillar Tractor Yellow graphics to completed transmissions and torque converters prior to shipment: "We used a template to mask off the stripes." No, Pat's transmissions weren't "signed by the artist," but he took extra care to make sure the paintwork was applied with care. Maybe there's one in your garage or under the floorboards of your hot rod.
After leaving Fairbanks, Pat spent the next 30 years working for AAMCO transmission shops in Connecticut. But through it all, Pat remained active at his hobby of drawing automotive subjects while also finding time to raise a happy family of three. Today, Pat is transitioning into the world of self-employment with a business centered around his hand-drawn renderings of cars and trucks. During the car-show season, he can be found at more than 30 outdoor events, including the Syracuse Nationals in New York, Carlisle Chrysler Nationals in Pennsylvania, and others where he's given spotlight space to do his thing before the passing crowd. We visited Pat's Stamford, Connecticut, home and studio for a look at his work. If you dig what you see, Pat sells reprints and is also ready to render your vehicle in his unique cartoon-realist style.
