I debated removing the graffiti (Photoshop to the rescue) but that would'nt be fair to someone else who wants to duplicate the shot. I already received a private E-Mail asking about how to get to that spot and at what time is the lighting good. > This shot says "Philly", and I've never been to > Philadelphia, so the photographer put me there, and conveyed a feeling > through his image that more than just a railfan can understand. Let me know if you ever plan to visit !! As I mentioned in an earlier post, SPORRS has really helped me look at shot selection a little differently. I work in downtown Philly and have been spending my lunch hours searching for scenes that take advantage of the positive aspects of the city. I'll post them to the list as I find them. Thanks for the compliments everyone. It really gave my fragile self esteem a big boost :-) Robert Palmer Pottstown, PA ======================================================= -> SPORRS: 'Serious Photographers Of Railroad Related Subjects' -> Web Site: http://www.anet-stl.com/acphotog/sporrs/ -> Message © 1998 SPORRS® - All Rights Reserved =======================================================
