CSX G371 loaded grain express train at Mortons Gap, KY Well, I finally made the plunge and had my Fuji XT-1 mirrorless camera converted to infrared (IR)! I've been toying with this idea for some time as I've always loved the look of black and white IR photography and have thought that the subject of railroads would lend themselves to this technique! Even at 71 years old it's never too late to learn something new! I hope you all enjoy my journey! In this shot we find CSXT 3313 as pulls off the Earlington cutoff at Mortons Junction at Mortons Gap, Kentucky on its way north on the Henderson Subdivision on July 16th, 2021 with loaded Grain Express train CSX G371. I'm really loving the starkness that the B&W infrared photography gives me in these images! Tech Info: Fuji XT-1, RAW, Converted to 720nm B&W IR, Fuji 18-55 @ 55mm, f/4, 1/1000, ISO 200.
