The second field trip of the weekend followed close on the heels of
the first, and provided me with a very similar mix of subjects. The
small town of Hillsborough was once a thriving industrial community,
but now only hosts a railway museum to remember its hay day. This proved
to be a perfect setting for a photographic field trip, as students
interested in landscape and wildlife can work with the wetland preserve
at the bottom of the hill, and those more attuned to the industrial or
man-made side of things can spend their time exploring the rich visuals
of the railway museum.

I spent much of my time moving between the two locales
assisting students with issues and generally providing whatever support
was necessary. In
addition, I did manage to spend some time photographing, alternating
between macro photographs of flower, and more regimented images of the
old trains and buildings. I worked in both infrared and colour,
but it was a colour image which crowed the day - the last image I made,
and without a doubt, the strongest result as well. As I was walking
about collecting students at the end of the afternoon, I happened to
walk around the back of one of the old buildings, which brought me
face-to-face with a pair of old, weathered doors. There was no doubt
what I had to do, and 16 images later, I had the stock material for the
most magical image of the day - a beautiful, perspectively correct
assembled stitch of the doors!
