The Eagle Cap Excursion Train

In late September, I was invited to present a photo workshop on board the Eagle Cap Excursion Train's fall excursion train.  About thirty passengers gathered in a designated.  We worked together on techniques to increase their photography skills. I also helped them with the fundamentals of their camera's operation.  A special treat was enjoying the presence of Grant McOmie, a long time television journalist.  His weekly program, "Grant's Getaways, visits unique places and excursions throughout the state of Oregon.  I was included in the program.  Here is the link to the program:
