lambroving Posted November 17, 2006 Share #1 Posted November 17, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) When Dan and I were wandering around, the National Park Service was giving rides on this thing. More than once nearly ran me down.

hamey Posted November 17, 2006 Share #8 Posted November 17, 2006 A super shot William. It reminds me of colored Steam shots that were taken in the 40's, As for this moment, you have simply captured a bygone era. Thank-you William. Ken. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lykoudos Posted November 17, 2006 Share #10 Posted November 17, 2006 Hello William, To look at beautifully, your smoking rail companions. Impressing appearance in memory of the good old times.

stuny Posted November 17, 2006 Share #13 Posted November 17, 2006 William - Fabulous light, subject, details, colors and framing. This is one of the photos I'll be showing to Barbara (she loves steam trains, and we were on another one in the Blue Mountains of Australia earlier this month. Barbara got to shovel coal into the firebox, which thrilled her). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotografr Posted November 17, 2006 Share #14 Posted November 17, 2006 Love them both. In the first one, I really like the steam pouring out. Image quality is just superb. Ted--What the hell is that??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cardinal Posted November 17, 2006 Share #16 Posted November 17, 2006 William, nice steam shots. It is really impressive to watch steam trains roll by. By the way, what is that gray Delaware engine look like? My favorite shot though is the first one of the Alco engine, now that is real neat to see.

lambroving Posted November 19, 2006 Author Share #17 Posted November 19, 2006 Even better...i like what's going on in the lower left with the steam & marker Dan, That marker is, I believe, the switch they were welding earlier when we arrived.

lambroving Posted November 19, 2006 Author Share #18 Posted November 19, 2006 Thanks for the comments. I guess the second shot wins by a large margin. Everyone is entitled to a little luck! Story follows... Stuart, I'm not sure I want to meet Barbara! Ken, From a train driver, that means a lot. If you want, I can try to send you a big copy again if you can tell me where to mail a big jpeg. Bill, It will probably bore all but the train buffs, but I'll post a snap of that monster too. Here's the story; Dan can back me up. Was wandering in the yard looking for peeling paint and Dan was up the line. I was standing where you see the engine. Heard a blast on the whistle and jumped back out of the way. (I was only 4m - 5m from the engine.) The engine went FLYING past. Had the M7 with the 28/2 focused at ~ 4.5m. Raised the camera and fired 3 frames on Auto. Two were properly framed and the steam only appeared in the 2nd shot. It is completely uncropped. The M7 meter did the rest. As I said, everyone is entitled to a bit of luck, but the M7 won the day. The light was really harsh and contrasty and very difficult. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidmires Posted November 23, 2006 Share #20 Posted November 23, 2006 William, The framing, background, and action make #2 the winner for me. Good timing too! Cheers, David. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
