Perfect Weather and trains headed into the sun made for a great day to be out.

Good photos Bill.

Thanks everyone. That first picture was only possible because the crew had to stop their train and fix an MU cable to get the second unit to provide power. Otherwise they would have been long gone and I would never have taken that photo. Funny how things work out.

I like the second shot. Was that from Annada?

Bill,
It may be my work PC's monitor but I seems like the orange in your processing is pushed a little too much. A case of too much of a good thing can turn into a bad thing.
Technically they look consistient with your shooting abilities.

Yes, it was from Annada. Not sure how to pronounce the name of the town, but it has a nice grain elevator.

Not sure how to interpret your comment. These pictures were taken very early in the morning with low sun angles which definitely enhances the orange in the locomotives.

Nice shots Bill - the first one in particular - always nice to work in a little curve.

Color is a subjective thing. One things that happens is that a camera's firmware can often 'juice up' the color. I think the real reason the orange is intense is the early morning sun. I have the same problem with the BNSF orange even with RAW files. It just never quite looks right.

I have to go look at my camera and see if I have any of the settings changed. I knew I was messing around with them when I first got the camera. Thanks Jon.

Check your color mode if you have it or the saturation setting.
