About cn2500sm

Shane Murphy 54 years old. Been a train buff since 1966. Have been active in photography since 1995. Originally from Georgetown, Ontario. Now live in Edson Alberta. Why do I shoot trains? Love photography and 1 day a neat train went by and I thought that would have made a nice shot. Well my camera has been with me ever since. My collection is about 40% prints, 50% slides, and 10 % digital. My Equipment. All my slides were shot with Olympus OM-1's with 28, 50, 100, 135, 200, 300mm fixed lenses. My prints were mostly shot using the same cameras. With a smattering of Pentax K1000 and Program Plus. All of my Digital is on a Olympus E-500 with a 14 to 45 and 70-300 mm lens. A few shots using my OM1 lenses abound. My posts are scans of prints included in my processing. Scans of slides will be from a Minolta AF2840 or Primefilm 1800U using Adobe Elements 8 or Photoshop CS4. I am in the market for a new scanner. All of my digitals are direct out of the camera. I really don't like to alter images. There may be minor corrections. But as far as heavy corrections like photoshopping out wires, poles etc. No way.

This photo taken in low light on a cold January day in 1958 to me captures the essence of Steam. A must post for me from the collection of my mentor in RR Photography, Randy Masales. Taken by his best friend Harry Otterbein.

Went to Swan Landing to shoot at this popular spot. But the weather got angry. But even angry weather can produce a neat shot
