Later on you mention a bad habit. My bad habit is that is usually pass up a shot if it does'nt have perfect 3/4 lighting. I am getting better at shooting in lighting conditions that I previously considered as unacceptable, but I still have a long way to go. > Dave's BN-Belfontaine Bridge shot I liked the location, but that yellow air compressor really bothers me. > Keith Wilhite had three on my preferred list AT&SF GP60M 107 in the > snow (I like snowy shots). So do I !! I'll take -5 degees & snowy over 95 degrees & sunny any day !! Also, I like shots of warbonnets in the snow instead of the usual scene in a hot sunny desert somewhere in the southwest. > the KCS 736 on the bridge.

That is where Adobe Photoshop comes into play. I have gotten quite good at removing offending power lines. > I also liked Keith's Burnside bridge shot. At first I did'nt like the haze, but after looking at it again, the haze gave me the feeling of a day with the temperature and humidity both approaching 100. I've shot in the south in August and it is brutal !! > Frank Keller's Afton CA shot is another one that has neat light in it. That one was one of the finalists for my SOTM vote, but I'll keep my actual vote a secret. I liked Rick Newton's BNSF pumpkin shot at dusk. Although it was almost a roster shot, he got excellent results with so little light. The lit headlights, ditch lights and step lights really made the shot come alive for me. I also liked Rick Gardner's Conrail shot. Of course I am partial because I live in the heart of Conrail country and because the SD80MAC's are some of my favorite engines.
