You've really captured the feelings of a bygone day. The weather looks to be pretty miserable, but in reality it adds something extra to the moody, misty atmosphere.
I've got goose pimples just looking at those photos - must put on an extra sweater and a scarf before I take another look. 😉
Weather was just cold enough to make snow instead of rain; not terribly "miserable"... 🙄
We've chased some trains in Jan / Feb, temps around 0 Farenheit; now THAT's miserable! 🙁
For the record, I got out the flashlight yesterday, and did a "haze check" on my user LTM lenses.... this Elmar 35 is QUITE hazy; not so much when you look straight through it, but when you put the flashlight to it... yipe ! 😱
I'm putting together a short list of lenses for Sherry Krauter to CLA... 😎
That is the station at Moscow; I 've been wanting to shoot one of the "through-trains" there, to catch the "drama" of the train blasting through at 40 mph 😉...
On the local excursion, the train just eases up to the station, so there's no big stack plume 🙁.
I'm very fortunate to live close to Steamtown and the old Delaware, Lackawanna & Western mainline.
Only down side is that Steamtown has scaled back their excursion activity due to budget tightening and "equipment issues". Word is there will be no more excursions until spring '10.
I'm waiting for a another roll from the same trip, shot at the Crescow station, where it was snowing the beat the band...
Wonderful photos! I very much like my 1936 35f3.5 Elmar. Its so compact and truly makes my IIIf a pocketable camera. I took the following shot wide-open, I think.
