Steam & Excursion > Nevada NorthernDate: 12/05/12 07:22 Nevada Northern Author: Auburn_Ed Haven't seen a posting for the NN Winter Photo Shoot yet. This was three years ago. Perhaps the best steam engine experience available these days.
Ed  Date: 12/05/12 07:29 Re: Nevada Northern Author: LoggerHogger That is one fine image!
Martin Date: 12/05/12 08:12 Re: Nevada Northern Author: africansteam Lovely work, indeed!
Cheers, Jack Date: 12/05/12 08:28 Re: Nevada Northern Author: KeyRouteKen Is that an actual photograph or a painting ??
KRK Date: 12/05/12 09:01 Re: Nevada Northern Author: zephyrus Excellent image!
Z Date: 12/05/12 09:28 Re: Nevada Northern Author: msharps It doesn't get any better! Love the light and composition. Have they done a winter photo shoot since?
Date: 12/05/12 10:01 Re: Nevada Northern Author: Auburn_Ed It IS a photograph...sharpness, contrast, color-correction, and cropping in PSE7. I have been to the Winter Photo-shoot for the last 3 years, it is worth every penny AND MORE! East Ely is like Chama, EVEN BETTER. If a weekend in Ely, Nevada, is not on your bucket list, it should be. I haven't yet heard the schedule for 2013 (Feb., usually) but am hopeful it will be advertised soon.

Should be another fantastic set of weekends. I will be guiding the daytime shoots on weekend one and Steve Crise will be bringing his lights per usual. We'll be lighting a great night shoot using modern strobes which allows us to take many dozens of photos in a single session with all of you participating. We do a totally different night shoot each year and sometimes each weekend. We'll be utilizing the adverse (high line) branch again this year in addition to everything else, giving the broad sweeping vistas in front of the mountains as well as the cut.

Photo one is the big view on Adverse at the fill just after the cut. Photo two is from our night shoot this year. Photo three is #40 and her 'new old look' restoring the authentic "safety first" emblem that used to grace her smokebox, as well as the marker lights. She looks quite different than she did in previous years, so if you haven't been in a while come on down. Both #93 and #40 are up and running, along with the passenger train, boxcar train, hopper train and wreck train. The steam wreck crane will be operational and will perform a re-railing demo in front of the cameras. I've done a number of photo freights, and I have to say that the NNRY is the very best bang for the buck, not the least of reasons because the locomotives, rolling stock and buildings are all original to the railroad, there's so much variety, and there's 60 original buildings to explore. You could do a whole weekend just shooting in the yards and not run out of scenes to replicate. (and on extreme snow storm weekends we've done just that!)

Topaz? :) Always a fun look if not overdone, and can really bring life to flat images. (edit: Not to insinuate yours was flat! It's a great photo.)

Ed Date: 12/05/12 17:25 Re: Nevada Northern Author: mikel Hmmmmm, got me thinking too .... did the winter shoot for 4 years ? and a spring shoot too. Winter is DEFINITELY better !! Maybe time to go back, been probably 4 years since I've been there.

Date: 12/06/12 10:20 Re: Nevada Northern Author: Crabbshell Awesome that would make a fantastic Christmas Card!
Date: 12/06/12 10:24 Re: Nevada Northern Author: Auburn_Ed Thanks for all the praise. In just a few weeks I hope to duplicate the photo (with variations) many times. Feel free to use this photo for non-commercial applications.
