OT Name of Photographer that did flash shots of steam trains?
I've seen some excellent pictures of steam trains taken at night.
It is obvious that the photographer fired a LOT of flash bulbs to create the picture. One that pops to mind shows a drive in movie with a steam train in the background. Does anyone know the name of the photographer and where his works can be viewed/purchased? I know it isn't digital...but we all came from film (or at least most of us g) -- Scott in Florida |

I'd imagine you could google up some sources of his photos for sale, including at the museum. Never mind. I got curious: http://www.linkmuseum.org/ They've got a store. Enjoy.

O Winston Link. He died last year - in his 90s. He was teh master of the
multiple flash set-up back in the days when you had to replace every bulb after each shot. -- http://www.chapelhillnoir.com home of The Camera-ist's Manifesto The Improved Links Pages are at http://www.chapelhillnoir.com/links/mlinks00.html A sample chapter from "Haight-Ashbury" is at http://www.chapelhillnoir.com/writ/hait/hatitl.html "Scott in Florida" 't wrote in message news I've seen some excellent pictures of steam trains taken at night.

Winston served as inspiration for my older Aussie spelunker brother. BJ used this technique to shoot a wideangle multiple exposure of a large cave scene. Using an IR remote, the image showed him standing next to all ten flashpole units (only one that was moved for each exposure), with all interior surfaces well illuminated regardless of the flash angle. IIRC, this image won him some sorta club award about 15 years ago. -- jer email reply - I am not a 'ten' |

I think it was back in the late 50s that Sylvania used to have an ongoing contest for suggestions of large subjects, details were on the back of every carton of Press 25-b bulbs. No AG1Bs back then? :) --Mike-- Chain Reaction Bicycles www.ChainReactionBicycles.com |
