I think the photos are great. The angles for all of them are good. I do like the shots when you have a train approaching but are still able to capture the consist while still enjoying the photo.
Kevin, it’s NOT dumb to admit you don’t know how to do something. It’s only dumb
when you pretend to know when you don’t and don’t ask how something is done.
I often say that out of any given roll of film you might get one great picture. Digital cameras don’t use film, but the ratio of pictures taken to great shots is about the same. I’m sure most photogs will agree.
Common, NOBODY else has photos to post? I know someone does. Also, new photos posted, and be sure to check back here often for new additions to the “gallery.”[;)][:D] Enjoy!
OK, there not good quality, But I scanned em for web use only so here goes:
MARC train @ Brunswick RR Days 2002
A CSX westbound with dual lease units, as seen from Railroad View Park in Brunswick (also see: http://trainheartedguy.tripod.com/park.htm
Power unit on an Easbound CSX freight, Brunswick
trainheartedguy: I like the way that your photos also show the life around the RR and not just the train itself, I have tried that before, but it doesn’t always work for me.
