Rail photographer Mark Llanuza, the official photographer for the Metra commuter railroad in Chicago, will help the East Troy Railroad Museum create a special night for photographers and rail fans interested in taking night photos of vintage rail cars and trolleys.
The second annual night shoot will be from 7 to 10 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 16, at the East Troy Depot, 2002 Church St.
Vintage automobiles are also expected at this staged photo event.
The event is limited to the first 30 registered participants. Tickets to participate in this special event cost $50 and may be purchased online at www.easttroyrr.org/photo-train.html.
An optional photo contest will be held among participants to determine the photo that will be used for the East Troy Railroad’s 2018 Museum Event Calendar. Directions on photo submittal will be provided during the event. Last year’s contest winner was Scott Olsen.
Participants should wear sturdy shoes, no open toe/open back shoes; bring a tripod and a camera capable of long shutter speeds; and know their camera and how to adjust its settings.
