train through Auburn.

Comments welcome. 2nd picture I just missed the train before the light bars

First one is nice. Shame you missed the second one. 1 second sooner.

Welcome to POTN BTW.

There is an Alabama Thread if you want to drop by.

All train shots are good shots

Yepper....they sure are...

Unfortunately cloudy day train shots or backlit shots make the train look flat and boring. The first shot I would rotate to the left and crop off 1-1/2"s off the elft side the chop the top down. Try using the shadow highlight tool a bit. The second shot, to me, would have been much better having the crossing signal in focus and the train blurred. Just my opinions. Trains aren't as easy to shoot a good shot of as people think.

I'm from Erie PA where they make those trains I get excited when I see someone post one of those because it makes me think..... Hmmmm I wonder if thats one of the ones I have seen on the GE test track that I pass every day to work and on my way back home. There is a little picnic area on 1 side of the test track and I've gone a small handful of times to wait for a train.... of course I usually run out of patience though before a train goes through...
