UP 8717 - UP 7910 |
| Description: |
UP 8717 - UP 7910 first two out of five on northwest bound double-stack approaching the one wed passed just fifteen minutes prior - all sorts of action in the rain and chill as we approach the exit to Weiser, Idaho (No, we werent taking the exit, but its just fun to say, "Weeee-zer, Iderho!" (So the folks in Weiser can make fun of my family, they can look for a book on either Seneca, Kansas or Gause, Texas... trust me, were all in this together and Im pretty sure Weiser is a sprawling metropolis compared to either one of the two family destination "cities") (Oh, of course the 800 pound gorilla book site that sounds like a river in South America refuses to carry such books, but almost all the other, including the fruit site, "Stables n Gentry" (when you figure it out, itll make more sense, and possibly be a little funny), and lots of other electronic book sites have it... but not that river site (sorry)) - anyway, photo credit to the better half now that shes awake and shooting out the window as were continuing through the hills and starting our decent. |

UP 8119 |
| Description: |
UP 8119 SPU with the double-stack as she passes directly across from the camera point... and it seems I have to re-figure out what zoom setting fits a standard power unit - minor color correction, double-unsharp mask (out of camera, then after resample down to posted image size) - shot at 1/500s f5 ISO160... and panning - which seemed to work a little better on the Sony than set shots - go figure. Panning is one of the things I could get myself into trouble with on the Canon group. See? Im not completely down on Sony - I just have to always find relatively bright sun, fast shutter speed, no horizontal/vertical movement except body-pan. Does that mean I have to take up regular rail fanning techniques? (This was shot in what would probably be a more natural fan type image - I caught sight of the approaching headlights and dodged off the road in an almost appropriate area and got out of the vehicle (instead of my usual shoot from moving vehicle). |

UP 1995 |
| Description: |
UP 1995 leader on a threesome mixed freight... and no pressure on her, but the better half shot this while the driver was emphasizing, "Its a heritage unit! Its a heritage unit!" - apparently I need to let her use the Sony because she managed to get a couple good shots - far more than Ive been getting out of it. (And before you blame auto versus my shutter priority choice - I leave the camera set for trips so grab shots Im not fartin around with camera settings - just need it to turn on, ask it to focus (ahem, *one* task... ONE!), then snap the picture - so she was using my settings... oh, sure, YOU tell her its because I drive more smoothly keeping the car less jiggly and THATS why the image is less fuzzy. Or maybe its because "Its a heritage unit!") |

UP 4464 in third and last position with eastbound mixed freight trailing behind a heritage unit (no exclamation point by the stage as the car is getting flaming cold driving with the window down - sorry, heritage unit or not, even my fingers are starting to get cold and Im not the one being asked to dangle a camera out the window. |

UP 4527 |
| Description: |
UP 4527 showing up at third at the front of an eastbound mixed freight sneaking under the arc of a section of circle irrigator (for the uninitiated, when you look down with your-choice of satellite image in maps, all those circles are due to irrigation using a central point (water entering the system) flowing through a mobile pipeline running outward in a line with periodic wheels down to the ground - it slowly rotates, then depending on the irrigation head and type (and crop below) waters the fertile, but dry ground... unless youre a dryland farmer, then youre off in the shed drinking, talking about hunting, and discussing the weather. (Just kidding - family kin are drylanders, its just funny to listen to dinner conversation when an irrigation farmer is invited to meals to hear the difference of opinions and the good-hearted jokes between the two ways of providing food to America.) |

UP 5399 |
| Description: |
UP 5399 second position headed west on a two-at-the-front set... and you cant win them all when doing drive-by shooting... or in this case, coasting and letting the train pass by us before resuming full freeway speed. Yes, the tops of the hills across the river in Washington are missing in the freezing fog and low-lying clouds. |
