Great shot Clifford. Vanishing point is amazing on that beautyful compo. Nicely colour by the autumn sun.
Yves has pinpointed the strengths of this photo. How did you get your entire scene sharp? You have maximized depth of field with a lens that has a smallest aperture of F6.3. How did you do that! The whisp of cloud helps give the impression of motion.
I was using a zoom lens with a variable aperture so at 24mm the it is f4 and at 200mm it is f6.3 while the min aperture at 24mm is F22 and at 200mm is f36. In the meta date you can see that it is shot at 24mm at f8. F8 is my to to aperture for this lens. Hope this helps
It sure does help. I did not understand variable focal length lenses. The '1/3rd into the scene is something to remember. Thanks Clifford.
the aperture for this image was F8 and the focus point was the lead locomotive approximate 1/3 into the scene so all should be in focus from foreground to infinity. So glad to hear you like this image, patience was a virtue here as I waited hours for it to finally come past.

You found the perfect backdrop for the Excursion Train, Castle Mountain really shines against that gorgeous sky. A beautiful capture in every detail, Clifford.
So happy to hear you like this one Heather, I had to wait hours for the train to arrive. Patience.......
