Trains in the Hudson Valley

By
Industry Observer

Trains - Bridges and Night Photography

Trains travel up and down the banks of the Hudson River many times a day. Last spring, a friend showed me the best location to catch photos of the bridge where the train is just a few, safe feet away. Easy location to capture this long exposure of a freight train headed south towards New York City. Using my tripod, and proper settings for a long exposure, my favorite camera and a little magic I was able to catch the light in a unique way. Light trails are an art form I've just begun to experiment with. Practice, practice, practice. I look forward to more night photography next year in a few places while traveling. 

Hudson Valley Trains

Living in the Hudson Valley allows for a plethora of wonderful venues to take photos.

Enjoy my photo of a moving train with the Mid- Hudson Bridge in the background.

Lots of fun. While after hours, it is better to stay up late than to get up early.

Hi Janis - That's a great photo - I've done a couple of those and they're hard to get right. Thanks for another contest entry!

Practice practice practice. When I retire the freedom to shoot more often will be a welcome luxury. Dick Greenberg
