RailFest Night Shoot was a success!
I had an absolute blast working with the team over at the Texas State Railroad in Rusk, TX over the weekend. We did a night photography workshop showing off many of the great Steam Locomotives that are in actual usage there. This place is special, and shooting it at night only makes it even more so.
We had over 60 attendees for the night shot and we had a lot of fun. We did a variety of shooting and lighting techniques in order to give everyone an idea of what is possible to do at night. The trains just completed everything, since their awe and power is overwhelming in it’s own right, photographing them is just icing on the cake.
Thanks to everyone who came out and thanks to Dave for letting us do this!

Tilting at the stars
This was my most successful shot from many taken in a 3-hour span when I first found this location. I was getting pretty bad light pollution but in this case, I think it really adds to the mood of this image.
Moonflowers
These are part of a road-side art display outside of a little town called St. Jo. To this day, nobody knows who the actual artist is. These “Moonflowers” are actually old Pratt Whitney engines from an airplane, mounted on old oil field pipes. I’d shot this scene a few times but I’ve always had very [...]
