The cropped version. This is a slick shot. I could have artificially lightened it a little (the low res, online version looks different than the print one), but when you start to lighten things post-shoot you start to trail away from how light actually affects things. I simply need to go back when I have time and when it's not raining.

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.
