6-12: US Hwy 14 runs parallel to railroad tracks west of Madison. Passed this train between towns, I waited for it at the next town, which was Cross Plains.

6-12: Working in towns along the lower Wisconsin River today. Found a bit of DNR land on Google Maps and took lunch there. I think nobody but the neighbors can find the place. And along WI Hwy 60, I have driven past this shack dozens of times and always felt like I should stop and take...

OK, I could be developing a problem now. It's raining trains all over me. Wisconsin & Southern short train moving through Cross Plains, WI.

I wonder if you unintentionally customized the front dial function?

It makes sense. Really you would be looking at a D850 as the upgrade and still be using optical viewfinder. D500 if you want the crop in-camera instead of in-post. There will not be any newer options. Your biggest limitation is the 24MP sensor of the D780, which limits the amount of crop you may...

I just keep finding railroad-related photos this past month. 6-10-2026 I was going to photograph the restored depot and along comes a train. Major storm was rolling in, got the shots before the clouds.

For not having really tried railroad photography prior to 1 month ago, I keep doing more. Total dumb luck today. I stopped for lunch at Whitewater, WI at the old rail depot. Site is on the fringe of a city park and the building refurbished. I was contemplating how to approach this scene as I...

Never had a strong urge to do that yet. Yeah, the first location had the screen so washed out I could not see how crooked I was. But the video was my last priority in things.

6-2-2026: Sterling IL near the causeway on the Rock River. Union Pacific 4014 Big Boy leaving it's whistle-stop downtown. Inserted video in my Project 360 thread. Not particularly proud other than I successfully juggled setting up and operating 3 cameras at the same time at 2 locations.

6-2-2026 West of Galt, IL. Union Pacific 4014 Big Boy on it's tour across the USA. I am the one person who is bat-poop crazy enough to use an infrared camera to photograph Big Boy.

From 6-2-2026 west of Galt, IL. Union Pacific train of flatbed cars loaded with cargo containers. Four engines up front.

6-2-2026: Same places in infrared. Bonus short-but-crappy video. Yes I was operating 3 cameras at the same time. Sun was so bright I could not even really see the screen on my Lumix to preview the video framing.

6-2-2026: Two locations around Sterling, IL

5-28-2026: Kenosha WI at the harbor on Lake Michigan.

@bluzman An extremely small possibility you could have bought my D750 I traded away in March. :D If I remember right, the D780 was mostly a D750 with some improvements in video and LiveView. Not much new offered for stills photographers.

He used the front command wheel to change the setting

If it was left to auto subject dectection, it was likely searching for eyes on people to focus on.

3D tracking is going to follow a subject it has locked on to in depth as well as up-down and side-side. Highly recommended for birds in flight, moving vehicles, and sports that have people moving quickly. Did you have your D750 only using the central focus points or were you using the full grid...
