Well, I just had to go back and shoot a train on Morant’s curve coming from the other direction. Had to wait like an hour for the train to come and then it was moving very fast. But, I managed to get focus set prior to the arrival and then at a certain point I just blasted away. Here is the one I like best. Taken with an Olympus OMD 5. I feel the sky, curve and colors all work well in this shot. Hope you enjoy it.

Black and White Just Works
Sometimes you are shooting a scene or environment that is just made for Black and white. The picture today was just that. Shot on October 2, 2012 in the ice Fields of the Canadian Rockies. The weather was changing every second. Winds, cold, snow. It was so cold my iPhone shut down. Camera kept working though. I shot this image and processed it in Capture One. Capture One has such great features for holding shadow detail and highlight detail. I printed it on the darker side because it matches the true darkness of the time it was shot. Hope you like it.
Murat’s Curve
One of the must have images when shooting in the Canadian Rockies is this one. It’s a large curve where trains come following the banks of a river. I still need to get a shot from the other direction as it is equally cool.
The Canadian Rockies
This was shot a few days ago in the Canadian Rockies. I am in the area scouting out locations to shoot and hotels for a PODAS workshop next year. What a fantastic area. So many amazing scenics.Light and weather has been beautiful. Look for a really cool train shot from the area tomorrow.
