Jim Satterwhite General There are quite a few poor shots on the site but one hopes that the folks who put garbage on the site learn from scenes like this. 8/3/2011 5:24:37 PM
Fred Goff General Great shot. 8/3/2011 10:43:28 PM
William H. Davis Jr. General Good shot, well put Jim, it's not difficult to figure out good light angles from poor light angles. I believe some are just satisfied with what they can get where they can get it. I settle for nothing less than perfection when I can get perfection, other times when I can't get a perfect shot I at least try to get halfway decent light as oppose to a shooting in poor lighting conditions. Composition & lighting conditions are key to a great photo. Like Jim said, all you have to do is learn from the photographers that take editor pick quality photos such as this & immulate them. I use a map to find locations for good lighting when I see a consist or train when the light is bad, sometimes it takes quite a bit of driving, but I'd much rather drive to a better location for good light as oppose to settling for a bad lit shot 8/4/2011 1:15:18 PM
Mike Woodruff General Guys, appreciate all the comments - I wish the image was a bit sharper. I think my imaging software did that, as the original image on my camera was tack sharp. 8/4/2011 2:16:20 PM
