Mike: Your comments are well taken, but maybe, just maybe, that individual has envisioned a different angle to compose. I , like you, get quite frustrated by someone being in 'the shot', but as far as I am concerned, it is a chance to re-think that shot that we sometime always consider just a gimme (that is unless the train is already in the view-finder).
On a related note, you boys in the northeast need to carry a bow saw to clear out shots. When I live in Jersey, I can recall my old friend Scott Snell and I finding a bow saw useful in the depths of Newark, NJ when trying to get a killer backlit shot of the Newark City subway PCCs. Just some added protection..... Rich Wallace P.S. I left my bow saw in NJ ten years ago, but I am going to have to get a new one soon. The vegetation in Texas is getting thicker. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wednesday, February 11, 1998 8:23 PM Subject: Re: SPORRS: Equipment Needed on Trips In a message dated 98-02-11 18:58:35 EST, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > So to all you pruners and woodcutters...think about the > shot you might destroy forever in order to get the shot of the > moment. > Boy, do I know that frustration. Show up at a old bridge or a milepost or some other neat prop, and the fans are standing next to it or under it rather than including it in the scene. -> SPORRS: Serious Photographers of Railroad Related Subjects -> Web Site: http://www.anet-stl.com/acphotog/sporrs -> Message © SPORRS® 1998 - All Rights Reserved -> SPORRS: Serious Photographers of Railroad Related Subjects -> Web Site: http://www.anet-stl.com/acphotog/sporrs -> Message © SPORRS® 1998 - All Rights Reserved
