This got rejected by those snobs at railpictures.net for bad composition, but I like how this shows how a passenger train (if I remember correctly the Palmetto) leaving a station works to get up to speed |

AMTK 98 Gives off a ton of smoke |
| Description: |
Those snobs at railpictures.net rejected this for being "bad angle" being a going away shot, even though just a few photos before, they took another photographer's photograph which was a going away shot. I suspect the real problem was that it was an Amtrak shot in a not very interesting area (the rear 3/4 view isn't the best of the P42DC and downtown Rocky Mount isn't exactly scenic). Had it been more interesting power with that type of smoke display or a scenic location, maybe. I still like it due to all of the smoke from it accelerating away from the Rocky Mount station - I think this was The Palmetto - and that fact is what really counts. |

Oh, this one isn't backlit but it is going away. Its like I am breaking all of the "rules" for train photos. You know what - there shouldn't be any rules for photos - constraining yourself to one type of photo risks missing scenes like this one - a pretty good look at a passenger train accelerating away from a station - in just a few minutes this one will be rolling through North Carolina at 79 MPH. |
