I love threads like this one.
Here are a few from me (sticking to the suggested limit of three).
Over and under Thrillseeker Bridge:
Twilight in Blackwater:
Runnin' trains with my nephew:
Of all three, the last one is my favorite. It represents the wonderful moments this hobby gives us.
Phil, I'm not a rocket scientist; they are my students.
My favourite picture? Here it is...
it ain´t a model, but for me, it epitomizes the feeling of an era long gone!
Well why not?
I always like this picture because it has the essence of the Chessie System in its early years..
Photo was taken at the Bucyrus(Oh) club.The C&O and Chessie units are mine.
Another one of my favorites features 3 of my C&HV units also taken at the club.
I have several favorite prototype pictures that I have taken..However,so far this is the top choice of 2009.

I'm sure she'll appreciate that!
I appreciate you guys posting your photos. Corey thanks for showing one of you and your daughter also... we all love riding trains! If I might let me say a word about the pictures I post. I've been in photography for about 48 years, both as a hobby and some pro work. There are about as many cameras, lenses, meters, lights and light stands, light modifiers etc. around here as there are trains, though most of it is getting kinda dated. On many of my pictures I use Photoshop for adjusting the crop, color, sharpness and the like. All that doesn't stop me from wanting to see the pictures other people post that may not have the equipment or the experience. I see good photos here all the time and, better yet, in those pictures I see modeling that is drop dead gorgeous. So please, don't worry about if your shot is magazine quality or not. If it is YOUR favorite, that's all that counts.
And btw, I consider myself pretty good at the photography craft... not great. I've seen great and I ain't there yet!

A thread like this is so inspiring. I know it's been done before, but not everyone sees them and new people come around all the time.
Great work so far! I can't wait to see the rest.
My pictures are not the best pictures, but they will have to do until I can stage a better picture. I need to rig up a way to backdrop the trestle so you don't see the bench work behind. Until then, here is my favorite scene if not my favorite picture.
This is my favorite prototype picture. We took a ride on the Fall Colors train out of Duluth MN. We rode in a heavyweight used in IRON WILL pulled behind a restored SOO Pacific. She liked the ride almost as much as me. This was where she stopped giving me a hard time about trains! The 'moment', if you will.
Very nice shots.
Here's a couple from me. They might not be "award winning", but I like them.

Tough act to follow, Jarrell.

Yep, it's that time again. Show us a couple of your most favorite pictures you or someone else as taken of your layout, or maybe from someone else's layout or even a prototype shot you've taken. Please... if at all possible.. limit it to no more than three.
A couple of mine..
