The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, 300 Gap Road, Strasburg, will offer a "Night Photography at the Museum" class on Tuesday, Nov. 17, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.

Noted railroad photographer and author Brian Solomon will share techniques and practical perspectives on how to take more effective railroad nighttime photos, and there will be hands-on photography opportunities in the museum's main hall. Portable lights will be arranged to enable distinctive photography and new perspectives of the museum's historic equipment. Attendees should bring a film or digital camera or a smartphone, as well as a tripod if they wish.

Solomon earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in photographic illustration from the Rochester Institute of Technology. He is the author of more than 70 books, he produces a daily blog about railroad photography, and his articles and photography have been printed in many railway magazines. Solomon was presented with the Railway & Locomotive Historical Society's Fred A. & Jane R. Stindt Photography Award in 2020 for his lifetime achievements in railroad photography.

Solomon is the marketing manager for New Hampshire's Conway Scenic Railroad and lives with his wife, Kris, in Lancaster County. Many of his books are available for purchase in the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania's Whistle Stop Shop.

There is a fee for the class. Space is limited to 25 individuals, and the program is designed for beginning photographers age 18 and over. To register, visit https://tinyurl.com/NightPhotographyAtTheMuseum.
