Street Photography with a Super-Telephoto Lens

R5 using a Canon FD 800mm - f/11 - IS0 100 - 1/320 from 800 feet away. No crop.

McCloud Railway 25 built in September 1925.

"No. 25 was restored for excursion service and served in that capacity until passenger service was once again terminated in 1975. It has since been used in the films "Bound for Glory" and "Stand By Me". It is presently in Oregon, providing excursion service on the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad (OCSR)." - Wikipedia​

Interesting photo. However, I hope you don't mind. The people on the left are distracting and don't add anything, same with the poles/wires on the upper right. The most interesting is obviously the train but also the guy and the contrasting blue and red.

Images of 100 year + movie stars always grab my attention :-)

It's interesting how much the 800mm lens has compressed the scene, and how even at f11 how shallow the DOF is. These old trains are so interesting visually, thanks for sharing
