  1. for me, it was the RFW, BVE and Photography... As long as i can remember the first thing id do when get on a train is to run up to the RFW (slants on the west end B ftw).. I discovered BVE about 6-7 years ago, and later started developing for it.. To be totally honest, now, the NYC subway has lost its appeal (it just isn't what it used to be anymore), most of the trains look exactly the same (soon it'll be all of them) on top of the fact I've pretty much seen the entire subway (except woodlawn) and now im just in it for the photo ops lol As for fantrips, I still never been inside a bus depot or train yard or rode a MoD train or other special fantrip lol
  2. its too bad the Sx10/Sx20 doesnt support conversion lenses & doesnt have the adapter..with my S5, i could get the adapter (which isnt even on the market anymore smh lol) and attach 58mm filters to it too..
  3. i would recommend that camera, I have the Canon S5 which is an older version of that camera; it is great to use and has all the manual settings that is offered by an SLR (although the ranges arent that good and the photo quality wont be as good as an SLR's as it is still technically a Point & Shoot) either way it is still a very competent and complete camera and i would easily recommend it, excellent if you are looking for something to practice with before you get an SLR (like me lol) idk exactly about that one, but if your into movies, the movie mode on my S5 is excellent. the picture is vivid and clear (even at 320x240 resolution), the sound is crisp, i can use the optical zoom while filming and it focuses automatically (however the files are huge). ive seen some samples from the newer DSLRs that can record movies, and the quality isnt as good. however, always remember a good photographer gets good pictures with any equipment.
  4. No the R160 Alstom is not released yet, I will try to have it out asap once I get a good elevated running noise.

  5. thanks for the announcements! they'll come in handy someday lol

    btw if you notice on the M train 63rd Drive is mentioned as a transfer point (Q72 to LGA) they didnt do that on the E F R or V programs

  6. Ladies and Gentlemen we are being delayed of train traffic ahead of us...Please be patient
  7. I like looking at http://www.dcresource.com . They have a very comprehensive camera review, and i like their night shot tests.
  8. a lot of ppl have canon too lol if u wana stand out from the crowd, get something like a panasonic or pentax or minolta
  9. DAMN What the **** happened to that !!! my little L11 camera is starting to crap out on me as well lol it's laggy, non-responsive, sometimes it doesnt feel like turning on and turns off by itself as soon as i let go of the power button, and the photos are cloudy and foggy (some of you think its a dirty lens its not lol) my S5 is still good tho lol but i wana get an SLR this summer (if i get a job of course)
  10. get a nikon L-(w/e number their up to now lol) they might look cheap and toy-ish, but for $100 its not bad lol my $100 L11 got it over 3 years ago, and it still works fine today (although the sensor is starting to wear out i think) if you have the extra $50 or so tho then get a better model such as a canon or w/e
  11. i know its hard to see the epic pic with all the icons in the way but w/e lol
  12. nice R32 pic lol

  13. Grainess depends on the sensor size iirc not about the megapixels In theory a smaller image resolution would actually be better in certain situations since you cannot see as much detail and you wouldn't be able to notice the minor imperfections
  14. i dont trust the light meter lol light meter usually over exposes i go like 2-3 steps below what the light meter says
  15. I was wondering if you guys have any particular set of manual settings on your camera that you go by for a particular scene (such as Tv 1/125 on the R160s, 1/400 f2.7 for sunset etc) and would like to share them.. I want to know about sunset in particular though since ive been having some difficulty with them lately my special ISO-80 1/400 f/2.7 combo isnt working so well for me anymore apparently lol
  16. on my computer i sort em by date & 1 or 2 words to help me remember what it is. for example: railfanning 6-23-09 subway 6-24-09 date 6-25-09 etc on photobucket its a mess lol i dont really organize em on photobucket i just upload them but obviously they would go by date since i upload em usually asap after i upload them on the computer
  17. Sometimes when you take a photo, the color can be kinda off. That's when you use White Balance to fix it. You can also be creative and mess it up on purpose to see what happens lol Usually underground IND lines are the way to go, they have long platforms which means more room for you to get your pics from. 14th Canal and WTC all have long platforms so that shouldn't be a problem
  18. digital image stabilization is really useless it just bumps up the ISO you want optical image stabilization, which actually shifts the lens along with your hand shakes to balance it out for me its manual settings lol in my opinion get a camera with manual settings and your good
  19. fujifilm is ok HP cameras are trash that's right lol they don't make the nikon L11 anymore i believe, if you could look around the net maybie you can find a used one but then again the L11 isn't really that awesome of a camera to go through all that trouble of getting
  20. what are the 2 other things on your fujifilm ?? and whatever you do DO NOT BUY A HP PHOTOSMART CAMERA those are BAD, VERY VERY BAD trust me i had to put up with one for 6 months...just couldn't take it anymore and bought my nikon L11 that thing now doesn't even work anymore, the thing won't charge anymore and the lens lid is broken
