Great Photo's! but they were very fuzzy, what kind of camera were you using?

Well, the fuzzyness probably was there because it was a "Panasonic Digital Camera."
The specs:
Builder: Panasonic
Model: PV-L779
Type: 300x Digital
..........if that is what you mean't. I'm not too, too brilliant about cameras--sorry.

It could be because it's a five year old camera. I don't know.

Thanks,

BTW, i'm not star chasing or anything, but I think that the best picture I took is the CSXs, the forth picture down. It was taken at "Great Milan Road" at Greenwich, Ohio. It is one mile west of the hotspot. This spot is where I plan on doing my "24 hours" tape!! Hopefully! I have to have permission.

Nice pictures. I agree, they are a little fuzzy, but other than that it looks like you a pretty good job!(We can't help what our cameras do, right?[:D][;)])

Ok, if anybody wants to know where they are all at---they are located:
The first three photos were taken at "Medina Siding" at Medina, Ohio.
The "L&WV" F7A is from Wellington, Ohio at the L&WV depot.
The CSX is at Gr. Milan Road at Greenwich, Ohio.
The NS is at "Alliance Siding" in Alliance, Ohio.
The Loram is at "The Kunkle Track" at Berea, Ohio.
............the Loram and one of the W&LEs weren't from this weekend, but I wanted to share them anyways!! Thanks,

Richard

P.S. This is all i'm writing as I have been writing too much! Don't want to be a "star chaser!"

Hey Alstom,

I have two things to say/ask.

Numero uno(1): What's the locomotive behind the CSX AC4400CW?

Numero dos(2):Please, feel free to post. I have read what everyone was saying about you and that Breaking Benjamin guy. Let's, PLEASE, not get this started again, but what they were saying was when people make posts that are really off-topic(Like talking about G scale and then someone pops up and says "Hey guys, Z scale is awesome."or something like that)or that makes no sense like saying "Hey guys I have a pet hamster. His name is Bob." Star chasing is when you do those things a lot, but I have yet to see you do this. So please, don't worry about it. What you're doing is not wrong, they were wrong for accusing you of that. I know it's been run into the ground, but you seem to be concerned when there's no need to be.

Just my two cents.
Have fun, stay safe, and keep the pictures a'rolling in!

Thanks "uspscsx" and rest of you!

To uspscsx:

The unit behind the CSX is number 2614 a "Dark Future" GP38-2. This also was a complete coal drag if you want details!! The CSX up front is number 25!

Also, uspscsx, thanks for the comfort! I really appreciate it! It makes me feel alot better!! Thanks,

Richard

Nice shots. I suspect your fuzzies result from one of two things: Dirty lens or low resolution (if it's a five year old digital, that may be the case). The color looked a little off on at least one shot (W&LE pink?) so the CCD may be going bad, too.

Hmm, thanks for the info---the pink and green are visible along the tracks like on the pic shown below. The lens has a different type of lens shield. It covers the lens up, but you can film through it. So it can't be dirty. The type of pic I took was a "fine" pic....if that means anything. Sorry that i'm not a genius on cameras.
