Nine Minutes in the Rain at Midway Airport
These have been reduced in quality from HiRes to fit on GG. In general I'm satisfied with a shoot that lasted under ten minutes, allowed me about fourteen shots, was in the rain and in dark lighting conditions and that involved subjects going 200mph. There were a few shots that were total losses because I led the subject too much (it took me a minute to re-learn what I've learned shooting trains for five years... frame your image and let a fast moving subject move into it... don't try to lead it like you're in a dogfight). And yes, they're too dark, but I didn't want to go overboard and lighten them post-shoot like a lot of people would have. I honestly don't believe in cropping and only did it for the two shots because I didn't think there was any documentary sin involved in taking out empty air.
