I never see the switching side (or local side) of UP.... I think I've seen only 1 non widebody UP engine since I've been out here.


its not how you take the picture, its the final result before editing.

Question for all you rail photographers? When you shoot a train coming towards you do you shoot manual or some other setting with +or- adjustment.I have noticed the headlight fools the meter when using av or tv setting. If shooting manual what do you meter off of before the trains arrival. I have tried spot metering off the ballast and usually get pretty close to a good exposure. Just seeing what others due

Your best bet is using the ballast as it's a pretty good source of 18% grey and as we all learned in Photography 101, your hand can be used if you have nothing else.

Those are some great shots, Richard! They look straight out of the island of Sodor..:lol:

If I don't get the shots I want with the gear I have, the only optics I need to examine is the mirror on the bathroom wall. The root cause will be there.

Wow... great image of an awesome "toy train set".
