Remarks & Notes

As severe storms move across Northwestern Minnesota, I was able to get some lightning action while staying dry. The storms were moving SW-NE and brought some very strong winds. It took many attempts to pull this shot off, but finally after 45 minutes of watching bolts strike north and south out of frame, I nailed one right above the power. Minutes after this, torrential wind whipped rain drenched the area.

Good Light, Good Scenery, and a Train Album created by member Lee Kirchhoff	Album Views: 31,763
Landscape photography is difficult due to the challenge of combining good light and good scenery. Good railroad photography enters another level of complexity since it requires the first two while there is a train in view.

Nocturnal Nuances & Lights In The Night! (Between Sunset - Sunrise / Sundown - Sunup!) Album created by member Dana M.	Album Views: 445,383
A continuously growing album of photos that IMHO reveal the awesome and seldom-seen beauty of the railroad world from the dimming of day to dawn's early light! From dusk to dawn, trains roll on! (I'm still finding gems of sunset-to-sunrise surprises!)
