Heber Valley Railroad: shooting from a moving train
Nature Journal July 30, 2022...
Photographer: William Wise | iNat Observation: 141551931 - Osprey; Wasatch County, Utah. July 30, 2022.
During our family vacation to Utah, we took the short trip on the historic Heber Valley Railroad. As we passed through Deer Creek Reservoir, I pretty much hung out the window with my camera! Shooting wildlife that was waaaaaaay off in the distance, and from a moving train, didn't produce the greatest results as far as photography goes. But there were several species and lifers by the water that I didn't observe the previous few days up in Park City.

I could not resist looking at a post that says "Shooting from a moving train". I really liked the shots, especially the landscape that shows the train tracks.
