Continuing with this series here's the next spot on our chase of day seven of the American Association of Private Railroad Car Owners (AAPRCO) Autumn Explorer VI that saw the special train travel north from St. Johnsbury to Orleans then back south to Bellow Falls via VRS' Washington County Railroad, the former Canadian Pacific and Boston and Maine Conn River mainline.
This shot was the second priority for me for this chase after the Crystal Lake shot and it too worked out fabulously. They are rolling south past Morrison's Custom Feeds mill at about MP L53.2 on modern day VRS Washington County Railroad Lyndonville Sub. I really like this scene because the track here reminds me of those old photos of the Milwaukee Road branchlines in the Dakotas back in the 1970s that had to be mowed. I had gotten terribly CFed when I tried this a few years ago: flic.kr/p/2oX4BaP so this was a wonderful redemption.
As for the railroad, the Connecticut and Passumpsic Rivers Railroad first arrived here in 1850 when their line was extended from Wells River to St. Johnsbury. In 1857 they continued the line north to Barton, then in 1863 they built on to Newport and finally to the Canadian border in 1867. The railroad operated independently until 1887 when it was leased by the Boston and Lowell only six months before the B&L itself was leased to the Boston and Maine which affected practical control from then on. In 1926 when the B&M leased the line north of Wells River to the Canadian Pacific which ultimately bought it outright in 1946.
The CPR ruled this line for another half century until retrenching in 1996 when they sold the Newport and Lyndonville Subs to Iron Roads Railways which created the new Northern Vermont Railway which took over on September 28th of that year. The Iron Roads system was bankrupt within a half dozen years and the NV ceased to exist with the Lyndonville Sub and the former Boston and Maine Conn River Mainline between Newport and White River Junction being purchased by the State of Vermont and contracted to Vermont Rail System's Washington County Railroad Subsidiary. The WACR is now at the two decade mark operating the 103 mile line while the Newport Sub north into Canada passed to succesors Montreal, Maine and Atlantic and then Central Maine and Quebec until remarkably returning to the CP fold in 2020 when they purchased the CMQ.
The train is led by VTR 206 a GP38-3 blt. Oct. 1969 as SOU 2718 and originally a high nosed straight GP38. Trailing is VTR 313, a GP40FH-2 that was rebuilt from original NYC GP40 3078 blt. 8-67 for New Jersey Transit commuter service. She later ended up working for Iowa Pacific on their assorted passenger operations until that company went belly up and then was purchased in the bankruptcy auction by VRS in 2020.

From the October Light Lounge event at Basford studio.
Wherever possible I like to create effects practically, on-set and in this scene we have no less than six lights: an overhead softbox with grid and warming gel, two strip softboxes with grids and blue gel either side of the scene at the back a edge lights, and a 7" reflector with red gel behind Leanne to backlight the background fog.
The sixth light is an AD200 with the Fresnel head and a long black card tube specifically to light the glass ball.
On the ground is chilled fog for an all-round mystical mood.

I've had many questions bout the duct tape (aka Duck tape) on my boots. The simple explanation is a practical one. My boots developed cracks in the rubber and rather than buy new ones, I resorted to duct tape. This solution has worked well and has kept my feet dry for years!

I am taking a photography course in lighting with flash. It is a wonderful course, and here the teacher wanted to demonstrate how we could take a crappy, dirty, entranceway and with the help of some lighting, turn it into a place with action and drama.
Moran, the model is one of the other students in the course :)
Thanks to the person who built this perfect sun filter.I got a little preoccupied with this , and took from all angles, seemed in this shot it were saying to me go west young man, and as that is the direction of mine abode, I did, a little later on.
Lights that look like they are lighting the scene. This one is supplying some of the light, but it's cleaned up by a small softbox with grid just off to the left.

Shop workers at JR East's Massive General Rolling Stock Center demonstrate to the gathered crowds how they lift and replace bogies on a double decker Tokaido Line "Green Car". These workers put on multiple [free!] demonstrations on this day to educate the general public on how JR keeps their rolling stock in pristine condition, a rarity among railway companies.

Je connais quelques personnes qui ont peur des feux, et qui peuvent vérifier plusieurs fois si leurs maison est barré avant de partir de la maison.
I know some people that are very afraid of fire. When they get out of the house they can verify two times if each door is well locked.
Her golden leg hairs are really pretty. But they are also what she uses to gather pollen. They are actually white hairs but hers are already coated with yellow pollen.

What is meant by fine art photography?
Practical Photography Magazine contacted me recently to ask me if I could help with a query they had from a reader regarding the definition of fine art photography. One of my minimalist b&w photos from Crosby Beach was also used to illustrate the feature. My interpretation published in the magazine was that: "The best fine art images connect with us on an emotional level and are produced by photographers who have a unique vision. They can show us a different way of viewing the world in which we live. In my own work I'm most interested in exploring ideas about beauty and simplicity - it makes me feel happy and at peace with the world."
I'd be really interested in hearing your own definition for the genre of fine art photography
Two photos used in latest Practical Photography (March 2009) issue - one further on as well, to publicise a B&W photo competition - wonder if I can enter...:D
