I set out after work with the intention of shooting the westbound Z train in the golden light out on the east side of Vancouver this afternoon. I’d heard it had a clean Power Bar ES44 on the point so I figured that would make a nice shot. After waiting quite a while I finally got a train… it wasn’t the Z train, but the Camas Turn, running long-hood forward on the return trip to Vancouver.
Eventually the Z train showed up but it was late enough that the combination of headlight flare and shadows managed to hose the shot.
On an unrelated note, I just thought I’d say I love the battery life on the Canon BP511. The last time I charged my camera’s batteries was before the Mt. Rainier Scenic Steam Spectactular in mid-January, and tonight I finally got the low battery indicator. Guess it’s time for the monthly charge.
