This spot is the bane of my existence. Every time the train comes in the wrong direction for the set shot. Today is no exception, so I try for the engines leading away through the S-curve. No such luck, the stacked containers block all view of the engines. Sigh, maybe there’ll be a pusher I think.
Low and behold there is! That’s the lucky part
Trains gone and I lower my camera and it occurs to me I’m still holding a particular button – the focus lock button, which I locked while trying to get the engines but couldn’t because of the high containers.
So my pusher is OOF! That’s the stupid part.
Some days your good to be lucky and others, lucky to be stupid.. no wait.. ahh, I give up.
