CSX W998-12 NB with a high and wide load 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 322 as it leads a high and wide load of windmill parts consisting of motors and housings as it heads north through downtown Mortons Gap, Kentucky on its way north on the Henderson Subdivision on July 15th, 2021.


Tech Info: Fuji XT-1, Converted to 720nm B&W IR, RAW, Irex 11mm, f/5.6, 1/1000, ISO 200.
