Okay, since this list is geared toward railfan photography, here's something.
Back in 1994, my friend James Reeves and I went on a one-day railfanning trip to Binghamton, NY, with a Railpace railfanning guide on locations and directions thereto. We stopped at the ex-Lackawanna Binghamton station, where we saw and photographed a set of CP Rail diesels, which included some vintage MLW power. Also in this consist was an ex-KCS six-motor unit with "CP Rail" in red--sorta like a negative of the usual scheme. (Unfortunately, I don't know the unit number off the top of my head.) Because it was so unusual, I took a picture of it. While sorting the slides after their return from the lab, I ran across that ex-KCS unit. A careful look at the image revealed how certain shadows present at that location framed the subject--and the kicker was that I never consciously planned the shot that way! Thus, I refer to it as my "accidental framing," because I merely took the shot without planning other compositional elements that appeared. Talk about dumb luck! :) Dieter -> SPORRS: 'Serious Photographers Of Railroad Related Subjects' -> Web Site: http://www.anet-stl.com/acphotog/sporrs/ -> Message © 1998 SPORRS® - All Rights Reserved
