Norfolk & Western 611 Charter at the Strasburg RailroadNovember 2022 The 4-8-4 Norfolk & Western #611 was brought to the Strasburg Railroad in 2019 and has been pulling passenger trains on select weekends. Lerro Photography helped run a photo charter with the 611 in October 2019. In November 2022, Lerro Photography was again asked to help the SRR with a photo charter to help raise money for both the railroad and the locomotive. The two-day photoshoot consisted of the 611 pulling an all-red passenger train and featured photo sessions at sunrise, sunset, and a night session. Each of the photo… [Read More]
Old West Photo Shoot 2022
Old West Photo ShootNovember 2022 When someone thinks of the Old West, one imagines images of gunfights, the open range, cowboys with cattle, drinks at the saloon, and adventure. In November 2022, Lerro Photography sponsored an Old West-themed photo shoot at the Old Bedford Village in Bedford, PA. Over 20 reenactors, two horses, and nearly 40 buildings and structures made for a perfect backdrop for our photo shoot. All of our reenactors were hand-picked because they had original and/or accurate reproduction outfits, props, and guns. We do this so we can make sure the photo shoot is as accurate as… [Read More]
Oregon Steam Charters 2022
Oregon Steam Charters The 2022 Oregon Steam Charters featured two separate railroads: The Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad and the Albany & Eastern Railroad. For our first photo charter, we spent two days at the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad with the Polson Logging Co. 2-8-2 #2 and the Heisler Craig Mountain Lumber #3 as our motive power. Both days were planned to feature both locomotives, but due to mechanical issues, the Heisler didn’t join us until toward the end of the first day. The railroad fired up a third engine, McCloud Railway 2-6-2 #25, but unfortunately, that engine had mechanical issues… [Read More]
Grant Teton Photography Workshop 2022
Grand Teton Photography Workshop Grand Teton National Park is one of the United State’s premier National Parks and offers both spectacular landscapes and amazing wildlife opportunities. For our photo workshop, we planned our visit to coincide with the fall color. We also hoped to photograph the larger wildlife such as bears and Moose. While I had been to Grand Teton several times in the past, I went out 3 days early in order to see where the fall colors were strongest as well as find out the recent wildlife patterns. Bison and moose tend to move around and then stay… [Read More]
D-Day Conneaut Ohio 2022
D-Day Conneaut Ohio 2022 D-Day Conneaut Ohio is a premier living history event and one of the largest and most realistic World War II reenactments in the United States. I have been volunteering as a staff photographer since 2016 and this year, I was honored to take the role of the lead staff photographer for the event. My job as the lead is to make sure that all the staff photographers have gotten coverage of all aspects of the event. This is important because the pictures taken by the staff photographers are then uploaded to the D-Day event page and… [Read More]
Maine Harbors and Lighthouses Workshop 2022
Maine Harbors and Lighthouses Workshop 2022 The coast of Maine offers some of the most scenic and photogenic maritime scenes in the United States. For our 2022 photo workshop, we focused on capturing the historic charm of the harbors, fishing wharves, lobster boats, lighthouses, and rocky cliffs in the area. This workshop was scheduled to occur during the full moon so our photo opportunities could take advantage of the moon. I traveled to Maine several days early to get up to date on lobster trap placement and how many lobster boats were out fishing each day. A couple of the photographers… [Read More]
Howard DGA-15P Air to Air Photo Shoot 2022
Howard DGA-15P Air to Air Photo Shoot 2022 In July 2022, I was given the opportunity to photograph two Howard DGA-15Ps in the air over Lake Erie. These beautifully restored aircraft are privately owned and maintained to a very high standard, so much so that the green Howard won Best in Show at Oshkosh 2019. If these planes look familiar, it’s because they both made a surprise appearance during our Liberty Aviation photo shoot for both day and night photos in 2021. Fun Fact: DGA in the name stands for “Damn Good Airplane”. I look forward to working with the… [Read More]
Thunder Over Michigan Airshow 2022
Thunder Over Michigan Airshow 2022 Since 2019, Lerro Photography has been providing the lighting for the night photo sessions at Yankee Air Museum’s Thunder Over Michigan Airshow. This airshow features a mix of WWII, Vietnam, and modern aircraft including the famous Blue Angels. Traditionally our night sessions are of WWII era planes. For years we have been trying to arrange for a modern fighter jet to be part of the night session and this year we finally got our chance. To the surprise of all the photographers, an F-16C Viper from the Ohio Air National Guard’s 112th Fighter Squadron “Stingers” was… [Read More]
Delaware Bay Lighthouse Photo Workshop 2022
Delaware Bay Lighthouse Photo Workshop 2022 In August 2022, Lerro Photography chartered a large whale-watching boat so a group of photographers could view several lighthouses in Delaware Bay both day and night. We set the date one day before the full moon intending to photograph the moon just above the horizon at sunset. The plan was to depart Cape May and photograph all the bay lights from south to north during the day and then hit them again after sunset on our way back to Cape May. We mounted our large LED lights on the port side of the ship… [Read More]
Old Bedford Village Scouting
The Old West at Old Bedford Village Lerro Photography was invited to photograph a public “Old West” event at the Old Bedford Village in Bedford PA. I have been trying to put on a Wild West-themed photo shoot in Tombstone, AZ in recent years but the pandemic and other delays occurred. It was thought that if we could make enough connections at this Old Bedford Village event, it could open a door to making a future Wild West photo shoot happen. Throughout the day, I photographed reenactors in a variety of scenarios including gun shootouts, portraits, and everyday life. I saw some… [Read More]
