So I don't photograph trains, that's not my thing at all. I'm here in South Africa on a safari, we were tracking a cheetah, and a train happened to blow by. I had no wide lenses on, so I could only shoot the first locomotive. There were 5 of them connected, and they were hauling a bunch of coal from a local mine..just thought I'd share the image for the train enthusiasts here.

Too bad about the pole, but it's not a bad grab shot.
Did you get the cheetah?

14 seconds with CS5 and Content Aware did not do a horrible job of removing the posts. Definitely a cool "grab" shot.

Thanks, Scott! It's a good one! Seems as if he's looking at you & thinking, "Lunch?" ;)
