5002 - Rolling Pride This is the second train I found sitting all alone, right behind engine 9662. I've always felt a twinge of pride when I view one of these engines with the American flag painted on the side rolling down the tracks. You don't realize how huge these things are until you get right up next to them. A bit dusty and worn, but big and strong; kind of like America.
Reflecting on Christmas Like many photographers, reflections have a special attraction that can make a photo come alive. But since I don't live close to a lake, pond or other natural attraction, I have to keep a keen eye open for rare opportunities. The reflection pool at the local Town Center provided a great chance for this Christmas photo.
Sunset Over Pensacola I’ve discovered one problem I have from my limited experience shooting really nice sunsets. The sky is gorgeous so I take a few shots. Moments later, the light changes and everything looks different, so I take a few more shots. Then it happens again. A cloud moves and the sun drops. A few more shots. Then the sun touches the horizon. More shots. Finally, the sun sets and the twilight colors appear. Lots more shots. By the end of the night, I have more than I can choose from. Typically, I only want to post the best of the group, but that can be hard to choose. This might be a case where less is more, making it easier to select my favorite.
