Amtrak 391 Conductor at Carbondale, IL

February 24, 2018 – The rain pours from the sky as the conductor from Amtrak 391, The Saluki, stands beside his train at Carbondale, Illinois after arriving from Chicago via the CN Centralia Subdivision. One of the hardest things about shooting in the rain or other bad weather is just getting out the door! Many times it’s really worth it though! I always keep a golf umbrella in my SUV for times like this!

Day 118 – iPhone 7 Plus Daily B&W Photo Challenge – Take my picture

February 25, 2018 – Day 118 – iPhone 7 Plus Daily B&W Photo Challenge – Take my picture – Today at lunch my great-great niece Journey asked me to take her picture! All of them (12) do this from time to time and seem to always have a smile that makes me feel all warm inside! If the little one in your life asks for you to take their picture, don’t hesitate! I shot this one using the portrait mode on the iPhone. I love the effect it gives on portraits, but your subject can’t be moving around much, as it takes a second or two for the camera to do it’s thing!
