Casey Jones Statue:

  • Best Time to Shoot : Early morning or late afternoon for softer lighting and fewer crowds.
  • Photography Tips : Get up close to capture the details of the statue. Experiment with different angles and perspectives to add depth to your composition. Consider using a shallow depth of field to make the statue stand out from the background.
Spot

Casey Jones Historic Train:

  • Best Time to Shoot : Mid-morning to early afternoon when the train is well-lit and shadows are minimized.
