A new thread for questions and answers and comments on the art and science of railway photography.
What's your style?
What works well for you?
What are your challenges?
...with regards to: - composition - technical settings - working with the setting you've chosen (ie. lighting, elevation, inward or outward track curve, etc.)

Photo location question, re CPR near Harrison Mills, BC:
I am looking at the Kilby Provincial Park as a possible good photo location for rail photos of trains on the CPR bridge over the Harrison River, near where the Harrison flows into the Fraser.
Has anyone been there before, and are the rail photo opportunities good re angle and visibility etc. from the boat launch area ?
I'm looking for views of the trains on the bridge, taken from river shore, not from trackside.

I'm looking for views of the trains on the bridge, taken from river shore, not from trackside. I must have been camped out high in the Canadian Rockies when you posted this one Fluge... Have just stumbled upon it now. I don't know that spot. I have never attempted to take a photo there. My recollection from zipping by on the highway is that finding a good vantage point might be a bit of a trick. Trains are pretty much all east bounds at that location which could complicate things just a bit.
Luke T (Canadian Viking) got a nice shot there a few years ago. Check out this: flic.kr/p/j9QLV6. I just checked that photo again and the map that accompanies it and the prospects for a good photo look much better than I had thought.

Trains are pretty much all east bounds at that location which could complicate things just a bit. I visited this spot in late September and took a few photos. But there was a crew working on the bridge doing some sort of maintenance, so there were no trains during my short visit there.
