    No17 North Central Railroad PA

    I was excited yesterday while doing the York PA rail trail they had No17 out on a run. This is reported to be the newest steam locomotive in the world. It was built in 2013 using blueprints of the Union Pacific #119. Its an incredible experience to see this train on this line, the building above...

    The Z8 will certainly perform better, but you should be able to get better results with your D750 I went back to be sure but I'm sure using sport VR when shooting on a monopod is a Nikon recommendation. It will not harm anything to try. Tripod shooting is when it should be off.

    Yes, in my research the white bars visible on the wing (near the end of its body) would not be there on a Whippoorwill also we have seen Nighthawks there before. North central Ohio is not a place you normally see Whippoorwills. The over enthusiastic crowds at Magee Marsh are very interesting...
