So, as I had alluded to in my previous post, I had plans for Sunday evening. And those plans were to meet up with friend & fellow photographer Nick Palazini to do a little night shooting. We were going to continue our experiment of shooting two cameras at the same time along with synchronized flashes [...] Sunday was an eventful day, photographically speaking. So I’ll be dividing it up into two parts – day and night. For the daytime, I had one chance encounter, and one planned. The chance involved the New England Central Railroad, and the planned was up at my alma mater – the University of Connecticut. With a successful morning walk yesterday, I figured I’d head down to Niantic again this morning and see how things panned out. As you can tell by the title, things worked out rather well. Had a bit of a frustrating day at work yesterday. So I decided I needed to get out and go on a nice walk somewhere to relax a bit this morning. And while I was contemplating where to go at my desk, I got my answer over the scanner. Well, at least it was the [...] Well, all that rain we’ve been getting lately finally turned into some snow overnight and this morning. Granted it wasn’t sticking to the pavement all that much – but that was a good thing. It meant the ground would be somewhat white, and I could safely get there with my front wheel drive Hyundai. I didn’t get a chance to head out today – kinda swamped at work. So instead of not posting anything, I took a break from the Olympics and scanned a couple slides in. At least we’ll keep things somewhat fresh here…granted the pictures are at least 6 years old… My favorite time of year for shooting photos is winter time – cold, crisp air with the pure white snow on the ground, matched with some of it clinging to the bare tree branches, and of course a train rolling through it, giving the scene that New England post card look. Well, today didn’t have [...] I’m back in Connecticut now, so I figured that I could get back into the swing of things. I figured I could do the usual this morning – head out and catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 while getting a little walk in. As it ended up, that almost didn’t happen. Last week I was down in New Jersey again for work, and as has been my usual practice, the cameras and Lumedyne have come along for the ride. Instead of doing a post for each time I went out to shoot, I’m just going to roll everything up into one post…easier that way. The day after the non-Storm of the Century on the 10th, we had a few inches of snow on the ground. But the sun was out, so I figured it would be worthwhile to head trackside for a few minutes and catch Providence & Worcester NR2 somewhere along the Thames River. |
