[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 356308, member: 10543"] Great shots Rick -- night photos of trains are a real challenge, moving or not. VERY cool stuff you posted. Some years ago I was at a weekend railfan convention and photos were being judged. Many were rare, having been shot on Kodachrome on the 1950s. The judges were merciless.. "Weeds in foreground DETRACTS", "Angle of sun UNSATISFACTORY", etc. I was aghast, as the pictures were jaw-droppingly beautiful. That evening, some fellows set up slide projectors in their hotel rooms to show their collections and it was funny listening from the hallway ... "Wow! "Exellent!" "Mmmmm!" To the uninformed, it must have sounded like girlie photos were on tap. :p [/QUOTE]
