Meadows Freight Train
What perfect timing that a CP Rail freight train came along as I was photographing. It doesn’t get any more prairie than wildflowers, elevators, and a freight train. Enjoy the colours of this prairie scene.

Obviously, a beautiful summer day. What perfect timing that a CP Rail freight train came along as I was photographing. It doesn’t get any more prairie than wildflowers, elevators, and a freight train. Enjoy the colours of this prairie scene.
Evening Elevator
Pool elevators uses this great reflective metal siding that made the elevators glow when the sun was low enough in the sky. This beautiful reflected light magnifies the impact of the elevator's iconic shape.
Evening Elevator
It doesn’t get more prairie than a photograph of an elevator. They are a dying breed, but for generations they dominated the skyline of countless prairie towns. Pool elevators uses this great reflective metal siding that made the elevators glow when the sun was low enough in the sky. This beautiful reflected light magnifies the impact of the elevator's iconic shape.
When photographing very bright subjects like snow or reflected light it can be difficult to preserve detail in the brightest areas of the photograph. It can also be difficult find the right exposure for the bright areas while still keeping details in the shadows. Evening elevators was originally shot on slide film which is notorious for its narrow exposure latitude. I give myself a little pat on the back for getting the exposure right on this one.
