I wi***he picture could be a lot sharper, and it has an overall gray tone to it, which I do not care for. But still, watching it has become somewhat adictive to me. I watched five trains roll past the camera within the space of about an hour. And that's more than what I am used to seeing here at home.

Thanks for the update, now can we get them a better camera? [:D] EDIT nice camera you use for your shots, but umm..it's not exactly cheap [:p] It's not the camera (well, it could be, partly)- it's the bandwidth, and it costs money.

QUOTE: Originally posted by mikeyuhas Just so we're clear, when you click the "Click here if you dare" link in my signature, you're taken to my own personal website, where I showcase some of my off-hours railroad photography. It's not connected with trains.com, Kalmbach Publishing Co., or Erik Bergstrom in any way. But I do love my Canon Digital Rebel...
QUOTE: Originally posted by tree68 The idea of bigger and better for Rochelle has been discussed many times. Right now we're seeing 2-4 second refreshes, and can have something like 5 concurrent viewers. Improving the camera image will likely require more bandwidth, meaning someone has to pony up for the bandwidth, or we have to settle for less frequent views or fewer concurrent viewers. Mr Yuhas can elaborate.
