McCloud Railroad in a much cooler time
Author: photobob

Being it was 105 degrees here in Dunsmuir today I was looking over some of my cooler time shots. We set up this shot of the McCloud Dinner Train at Big Canyon on a full moon winter night. It was 100 degrees cooler then it was today. This was pre-digital for me and I was shooting my Pentax 67 with an electric shutter. Between exposures I had to get back on the train to warm the camera battery up or the shutter wouldn't work. Each exposure ran about five or six minutes and we did one roll of color with ten exposures and a couple in black & white  so we were out there for quite awhile. Just thinking of that night I get chills. In fact I think I'll go out into my backyard right now as its still in the low 90's and warm up.

One of your best shots yet Bob.  Thanks for sharing this "postcard."  IOTD material for sure.

Very nice, unique photo, I really enjoy creative pictures so much better than the standard 3/4 roster type views.
Thanks for sharing!
