My Early Digital Images

I bought my Nikon digital SLR camera in last summer. As often happens when you make the transition from film to digital there is an overlap period in which you are still shooting off the film that you have left while also getting digital images with your new camera.

Here are three of my first digital images made with my new Nikon.

I didn’t have to go far for the first two. I caught an NS intermodal train crossing the trestle in Painesville over the Grand River on Sept. 2, 2012. This is just a few minutes from my home. The perspective is from Riverview Drive.

The attraction of this train was NS 8025, the Monongahela heritage locomotive, which was in the trailing position of this stack train.

Also shown is LTEX 1420 on the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad leading one of the scenic trains at Brecksville with the iconic Ohio Route 82 bridge over the Cuyahoga River in the background on Sept. 12.
