well did some track shooting today.these tracks are still used.(hard to believe) the train comes about once a month to pick up waste at the World Kitchen factory, where they make dishes for Pyrex. This track also runs right in front of Corning Inc. headquarters. see my pics in the gallery to show how close it is to the building.

What effort? Did you WALK? SKYDIVE? LOW CRAWL?

Hell NO! You drove! Now I realize that for an old dude like yourself, 30 miles is a lot like the effort required to get over the Donner Pass, but still.

You just had to make sure that your prune juice was finished! :)

(Nice shot Dude!)

hehehe thanks, Pete. :) OK, so I drove there. :) No trouble at all. The prune juice held out till I got home, thankfully! ;) lol

I had to go 30 miles to get this shot! Hope you appreciate all the effort I put into this! ;)


Jack would it make you feel better if I told you most the shots I'm doing I have to walk a mile to get to them. Ah, this is killing me, might have to start taking my bike and pack a lunch. :p

I find it very easy to take Railroad photos, but it's a challenge for me shooting just railroad tracks.

BTW great shot. I was thinking along the same lines for one. :cool:

hehe I was just kidding about the 30 miles. :) It was only about 5 miles away. :) And thanks for the kind comment. I really appreciate it.

Hey, great shot, Kim! I don't know how ya did it, but it looks great! :)
I tied my stepdaughter up, lol, got her to lay down on the dock at the cabin, took the shot, then went down to the track, and clicked a pic of the right proportion for Amandas body, then used the overlay feature, and then antiqued it. Simple lol

Tied your Step Daughter up???? That would qualify you as an "EVIL STEPMOTHER"????

It is a cool picture though
