Original Digital Rebel, 35mm f2.0 & low light Via

Occasionally I like to use my Original Digital Rebel (300D) to remind me photography is more than just gear. I also own an Xsi (450D) and the 5D 2, but I enjoy using the 300D; its my official rail fanning camera.

I took my Original Digital Rebel along with my Canon 35 f2.0 lens to capture this image. I used to take my son to Pacific Central Station (Vancouver BC) every Friday, we'd have a quick bite to eat at the McDonald's, then head out to watch passengers board, and then the train depart. Now it is difficult to get close at all with all the security measures.

I took this standing on a narrow cement block, my camera poking up between two barbed wires straddling the wire fence. I was balancing, with a monopod on the camera (but not touching the ground - too far down), and I think this shot was shot at something like a 1/30th of a second; that it came out at all was a miracle. I processed it to save what image I did have:
