The steam engine

This was the most unexpected and the only most exciting thing that I found to take snaps of during our visit to Arkansas to enjoy the beauty of fall. We were late by a week or two so we didn't get much of the fall action, but this ancient steam engine was quite interesting. There were a couple of kids playing all around the train and refusing to come out of it.

Things I learnt during this trip:

1. Never ever have your sunglasses on while taking snaps. You get misguided on the exposure of the snap. I did that for the first few snaps and later realized that I was actually taking over exposed snaps. This snap is also a tad bit over exposed, that's because of the second lesson I learnt.

2. When you review your snaps on the camera especially in bright daylight, the snaps look underexposed. So just remember to take two to three snaps with different settings to be on the safer side.

3. If you want the subject to stand out, try at get it to poke into the sky. What better way to do that than to go closer to the floor. Out of all the snaps I took, this one was good. What I liked in it was there was enough space above the train hence not giving the effect that it ended abruptly on top.
