  • Good job for starting it, I was last minute invited to a New Year's party, so I couldn't...

    Railfanning ATM is total crap...it's very dark, too warm, and not winter enough. Plus, as I type, I'm trying to bring my computer into what could in theory be defined as an operational state...old POS....

    Hey, could some of you give me some photography pointers. I have noticed some excellent pictures on the previous thread and would like some pointers.

  • Matt is one heck of a good photographer.

  • The usual, running trains at the location of the photos, taking lots of photos, creating a wireless network for my house, playing XBOX360, and hanging out with friends and family. How about you? How's the N Scale layout coming along?

  • hey its my first post of the new year! tmccman:nice photos im not one for u.p. but the garden looks good.
    LETS GO TIGERS! (clap, clap, clap clap clap )
  • Thanks Oscale, I wish the layout was mine, but I help out there a lot. I am planning a layout for my backyard, probably 3 mainlines, a logging line, a yard, sidings, a lot of industries, a small town, a bridge or two, and a water feature. I will probably plant a small forest of dwarf evergreen trees so the trains aren't always visible.

  • Lance: I can't really give tips for general photographs, only specifics! The best advice I can give right now is to practice, practice, practice...and make sure to use a tripod as much as possible. Which I forgot to bring to the light show....so I had to use the mini-tripod for everything, which is a PAIN. (I always carry a little tripod with me at all times, just in case)

    Last night I went to a light show at the zoo, and guess what it was called...

     Once in, we were greeted by a horse and cart...

     Monkey trees! The monkey flashes across the rope, but because of the exposure, I got it in all its stages.

    A tunnel of candy canes!

     Not totally sure what happened with this picture....Tiger on a gift shop!

    "'Cause the power you're supplyin'...it's electrifying!"

    I tried some funky ones that would be my parents in sharp focus with a bunch of blurry lights, but...they didn't work out all that well.

    A view up the trunk of a well-lit tree:

    The same photo, with really high contrast to appeal to the druggies! Tongue [:P]

    Tried some more weird blur stuff on the way out....

    Then I saw...THE MOON!
