Today we are remembering all the times in which trains inspired photographers to captured their enormous and gentle presence with their cameras.
Different compositions can capture trains in interesting and creative ways. For example, you may like to photograph modern trains in a way that captures their movement. By shooting towards the front of the train as it approaches, with relatively slow shutter speed you can get some dramatic shots.
On the other hand, old steam engines are amazing and complex pieces of machinery, so don't only look for a wide shot, but hone in on the details. Different and interesting compositions will ensure you capture your story.
So let's take a slow journey, let off some steam, and get your creativity chugging along with 50 photographs of trains!
