IRM Diesel Days - the last one... by thomas.merton.

Burlington Northern "Executive" F-9A + F-9B + E-9A lashup on Johnson siding. These units don't get out much anymore, so I took quite a few pictures of them.

Well, this concludes my IRM "Diesel Week" on Flickr. Thanks to everyone for stopping by and checking out the photos!

	Trent "Raichase" Nicholson says: Bloody great storm lighting on this shot! I must also comment, the shot is rather clean for ISO400, it's very impressive, even when viewed large! -- Seen on your photo stream. (?) Posted 6 weeks ago. ( permalink )
	thomas.merton says: Hi Trent! No storm lighting on this one, just the magic of the polarizer filter, which I used on 75% of my shots that day, even where I didn't really seem to make a difference. I've been very happy with the ISO 400 shots the E-510 produces, very usuable. Even when pushed to 800 and 1600, the camera performs fairly well, though I usually try to keep things at 800 and under.

	thomas.merton says: Sadly, it must have been a Metra employee who put together the A+B+A lash-up, as the thrid unit should be facing backwards, as God intended, NOT set up elephant style like Metra does with their F40's..... ; ) Posted 6 weeks ago. ( permalink )
	Trent "Raichase" Nicholson says: Ah yes, I too have had wonderful results with a polarizer. When it's not cloudy and raining that is :(. Posted 5 weeks ago. ( permalink )
