BNSF 7283 ; BNSF 2112 ; BNSF 1599 |
| Description: |
BNSF 7283 ; BNSF 2112 ; BNSF 1599 in a stage setting shot for the rest of the year so we can all be on the same page. BNSF 7283 and long line of road power is sitting on the eastern-most of the power-corral tracks while BNSF 2112-BNSF 2674 local yard pair rest temporarily on the middle power-in-waiting rails next to the inspection pit shed - all of which feed into the turn-table spur or road-readiness tank-n-top-off sand-water-and-diesel station to the south of the 39th Street over-pass. To the left of the frame is the new westbound-to-northbound Vancouver Center yard by-pass lane swirling along everything. Further, just off stage left, is my power corral fish-in-a-barrel shooting spot - at least when its not blocked by the new by-pass lane acting as a holding tank for clear rail... which has been an increasing finding markedly reducing my number of shots on any given Sunday. Welcome to my trip to church and another year of Sunday early evening snapping. |

As a side note, converting this to gray scale and digitally equalizing-stretching (histogram manipulation) the image makes for a pretty neat old timey print... blurry and everything! (Oh, wait - possibly not the best option.) |

BNSF 5530 |
| Description: |
BNSF 5530 southern of three in the road readiness lane sporting the ever-present complimentary color scheme A/C unit... which I would presume is not seeing use today. (Side bar: no - I couldnt find a single point in the entire frame in focus, so its not your eyes going funky. Shot at 1/1000s (not 1/100!) f6.3 ISO 800 (because of snow Id clicked up the exposure compensation dial 2/3 stops - you know, because snow isnt gray - 180mm equivalent zoom (approx 10x zoom - no, not digital, optical... the camera says it can go out to 30x optical - although if youre not going to bother having anything in focus, heck, why not use the digital zoom, too? Just kidding. I think.) - Any hints yet if its me or the camera? (If I didnt still have the broken Canon, I might consider it being me and getting older (not just crankier) and less steady... but, dang, folks - thats 1/1000s at less than 200mm - with image stabilization - yes, Ive tried it on a tripod and not better (but the camera does say its on a tripod when I do it - so at least its a smart camera, even if just as blind as myself - its one of the reasons I ditched the real camera (Pentax k1000... yes, Im that old... yes, I used it forever) - because my eyesight was shot and I couldnt manually focus - luckily the digital camera revolution had started at that time, so I went to pocket snappers (well, as small as the Olympus 340 was at the time - it was smaller than my Pentax with a 28-80mm zoom and covered about the same range of optical zoom... at a huge whopping 1-3Mb image size(!) - but that original Oly could still out-focus me on any given day. I still have the Pentax (no sense wasting money to purchase a weight set/hand dumbbell - I just put the 300mm lens on the body and hoist away for five or ten minutes... Im cranky, blind, and round - but frugal) - anyway - to say the least, my adventure in trying a Sony camera has been less than stellar. |

(If the Sony wont give a crisp picture in sun, I dont know what to say - but the northern-most unit (cropped completely form this picture) was so fuzzy on the horizontal shots I couldnt read the road number clear enough to post it. Wow. Not quite as close as my shooting-fish-in-a-barrel area, but dang, folks, its just across the road and down the slope - its not like I have the lens racked out to 300mm equivalent.) |

At least its only in the teens with the howling wind-chill and raining, not like theres bad weather or anything. |
