Graffiti Train

A few miles south of where I live is this long line of, what it seems like abandoned rail cars, without an engine, sitting on a set of tracks parallel with the road. I checked Google Maps and it looks like, according to the date, that it’s been there for a couple of years.

I took out my RB67 with a roll of Ilford HP5 and shot a quick 10 shots this one was one of my favorites. I also took along with me my “new to me” Pentax Digital Spot Meter, which I’ll discuss in another blog post.

As you can see closely under the train there is a vehicle I captured, which was deliberate. My exposure was 1/15th of a second to capture some blur in the photo. I believe my f/stop was around f/11 or so. You can see against some of the dark areas that it was snowing lightly as I captured these images.

ALSO…it was my birthday that day!
