mmmmm - more photos good.

I thought your photo was the best, Bergie, so hopefully we'll get to see the other shot you alluded to - Bonus! Not too contrasty, sharp focus throughout (especially considering your f-stop), great colors on the containers if not in the trees.

I like the new format. It gives a lot more choices each time.It was not easy,but I voted for Mike's SP shot.The gray and red loco really stands out against the fall foliage.If only the grafitti vandals hadn't spray painted that ugly yellow patch on the engine!

Trackside with Trains.com, Vol. 101: NEW FORMAT!
Posted by Bergie on Monday, November 10, 2008 3:45 PM

Hello,

This week we're launching a new format for Trackside with Trains.com, and I'm excited to see how you guys respond to it.

New premise
In the past we'd have two photographers go head-to-head using random photos. In the new format we're having our photographers submit photos to a pre-determined theme. For example, this week's theme is Fall Colors.

Another twist: Any of our 10 participating photographers can join the fun in each new installment. For example, we have five photographers participating in this week's Volume 101.

More photos to choose from and a common theme ... this should be a lot of fun!

Click here to read Trackside with Trains.com Volume 101 ...

... then click here to vote.

When finished reading and voting, add your comments about this week's photos below and let us know what you think about the new format.

Thanks again for participating!

Erik Bergstrom
