April 24, 2024, As many of you know I've been working on a landscapes photo challenge I've titled 7-Minutes till Sunset, but I fudged on this one again and it was shot at 17 minutes till Sunset, as it was when the train was in the right spot for me. During this challenge have been photographing a landscape daily from the air at 7 minutes till sunset, but today I caught a loaded Paducah and Louisville Railway coal train crossing the wetlands after picking up a load of coal at Warrior Coal mine, just outside Madisonville, Ky, on April 24th, 2024. I have been trying to catch a train here at this spot since I began this challenge on the 15th of April and today was the day! Exposure was for the sun and then I brought up the mid-tones and shadows in the RAW file processing. Tech Info: DJI Mavic 3 Classic Drone, RAW, 22mm, f/2.8, 1/5000, ISO 100.
