Oct 12, 2011 08:12 | #5 But now it is going to rain on and off for a few days, and I could be looking at a nicely cut yard, instead of one needing a good trim...plus saved about 30 bucks in gas driving around looking for some decent light and background, as there seemed to be this layer of thin white cloud, that just made everything look like crap when any sky was in the photo. It broke up nicely shortly after this photo was taken, but then clouded over for good, and of course when the light is the best it will be, no train will ever rumble through........LOL Your camera is alot smarter than the "M" Zealots would have you believe

If we didn't know failure, we wouldn't appreciate success!

Oct 12, 2011 10:52 | #7 Sure, but according to the forecast, I had hoped to get that shot, except with the train going uphill, with throttles set to wide open and exhaust gases erupting into the sky in a magnificent heat haze, as the locos strain to lift the tonnage on the grade.
