WRT to the discussion of when or when not to take pictures. I believe that in the railfan/model railroad world there are four types of pictures... 1) pictures of models - not/applic to SPORSS? 2) ordinary pictures of trains (ie I was there, I saw this) - n/applic!! 3) detail pics - presumably for modelling - probably n/applic 4) GREAT pictures - the kind that non-railfans look at again (there was a woman in Ontario that could never remember my name but always mentioned my "rainbow" picture) - this is what I suspect SPORRS is about Personally I believe that I take too many lousy pictures (type 2 above) and not enough good ones (type 4). But that's only my own opinion. I find that I need to take lots of pictures and study them to improve. (Something I don't spend enough time doing.) I'm also hoping that viewing other's efforts on SPORRS will help my own efforts. I haven't voted mostly because I haven't had a clear favourite. It's almost like there are too many choices. There's lots of pics that I like, and some that I don't. But I want to thank EVERYONE for submiting their pictures for me to view.
