[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 742643, member: 10543"] That's so perfectly stated -- I completely agree. Timing of shots was essential as well, where you had to envision exactly where you wanted the train to be in the photo before the train appeared. I'd pick out a joint bar and figured to nail the shutter when the pilot was upon it. It was still tough though and I messed up often. These days I just hold down the shutter button and blast away figuring one shot in the burst will be close enough. :rolleyes: I suppose roster shots are the easiest .... if you can avoid being thrown off the property. It seems that even this was easier in the days of film.
