Next up is a chunk of photos from the first half of December, which include Amtrak, Providence & Worcester, ethanol, a Sperry Rail Car, a couple C-130s and a pair of fast attack submarines – a Virginia and Los Angeles class. Nice variety for the first half of the month. And like the previous post, this isn’t everything I shot during that time frame. The stuff that’s missing from both the end of November and all of December (here’s a couple hints – steam and night) will all be lumped into one post, since it’s kind of a progression of shots, showing the evolution of my technique. Enough of that – here’s the goods for the start of December.
Four sets of photos to start things out with for December. Starting with a Virginia class, and ending with a Los Angeles class with a few trains sandwiched in between.
