Coming 'round the bend


This is the same train from the other post, but as you can see, this time it is farther away. I wanted to capture the background, but at the same time, I didn't want any building in town (other than the Cheney station) to show. I took this from a field that can't be seen here, standing off to one side in my attempt to capture what I visualized. I think it worked, but others may think differently.

I love taking photos of nature and wildlife, but I also enjoy trying new things. This was the first train I ever photographed and I love it because it's on the move. This was just before the sun made it over the tree tops. A few more minutes and I would've lost this particular lighting. I used my Canon Rebel XT with a 300mm lens. Although nature and wildlife are always my first choice when trekking around the area with my camera, trains come in at a close second.
