You got the same one as I do now, have fun!

For Metro North specifically it is not required for them to wear one unless you are in contact directly with the customer, for which engineers are not. Now, I know you're gonna say the same thing for T/Os but NYCT =/= MNR, and T/Os interact with riders a lot more than engineers on any railroad...

Resolved via PM.

KR, someone's been playing BVE!

BVE 5 is incompatible with older generation routes from BVE2 or 4, so your best chance is openBVE.

True, but even if they aren't NYCT routes, doesn't mean they're bad.

huh... thats a shame it wont work on my vista o well

It can work, but I wouldn't mess with it. Rather wait for BVE 5 to come out.

Forgot to renew it.

So all the pics went flying in the air?

@PaulP. go with smugmug.com

Thanks. What happened to yours?

Look guys, honestly, all I need is a reliable host with my own domain so I'll have to decide what to choose from... no servers or anything like that, it's just for pictures, nothing more.

I've been looking into photo hosting sites (free or $) with your own domain, can anyone recommend from experience? The reason I ask is because my Photobucket is getting fuller and the quality of the pictures is decreased when uploading... :tdown:

What about something more permanent like a private photo album? Something similar to what a few photographers have here...

OpenBVE has not been officially tested on Macs, but it can be downloaded. See here.

Looks like a great investment for an SLR, Dave ! Can't wait to see the photos.

I tell ya ,I just don't get it I have 420(G)( AMD turion x(2) with the ATI radeon card and god damn it I can't get it to friggin work jesus christ ,I got A great laptop and I can't get it to work OPENbve:mad:

 

I just don't get it ,I know I'm not the only one with this dilemma:confused:

(T)his program should be easy like (E)2/4 Dammnnnnn it:mad:

Vista?

Oh well, sorry, I didn't see you posted before. But let me know if you have more problems, here or via PM.

The thing with a lot of point and shoot cameras is that you can't customize setting. I'm not familiar with the one you have, but the factors causing blurry pictures are: shutter speeds and exposure in the most part. Can you manually change those?

I know this sounds like a dumb question and granted i never bothered to read the manuals, but how do you crop pics on a DSLR?

Oh well really depends on what kind you have. Mind sharing?

True, I work with what I have right now, and am not interested, nor do I have the money to buy a good lens. In the future, definitely yes.

I think I'll have some more questions in the next few days, so I'll ask here. :cool:

Well yes, apparent is more precise. That's why I attempted to put actual into quotation marks.

Thanks for the explanation sir, much respect.

At least now I know what to consider when looking for a wider variety of lenses. :tup:

So considering this factor, the "actual" focal length on my camera with the 18-55mm lens I have is 27-82.5mm?

OK, first off thanks for the response. I realize you have some experience in this topic.

So far I understand everything you wrote out really clearly. So the "crop sensor" in my T1i is the factor determining the field of view in the picture. So when buying a lens with a given focal length for a 35mm camera, how would I calculate the "actual" focal length for the pictures if one has the "crop sensor"?

By that I mean if my T1i currently has a 18-55mm lens, what is the corresponding range of focal lengths considering the smaller sensor?

I feel this is the proper place to ask this question, anyone who can explain in detail please answer this one for me or link me to some info.

As I'm still learning about my own DSLR, and the lens variety, I came across researching different types of lenses.

The question is about the focal lengths of the camera and the lenses for 35mm cameras. I know the angle of view depends on the ratio between the focal length and the film size (which for me is 35mm), but let's say for example I want to get a 10-22mm wide-angle lens... How would I know what the actual range of focal lengths will be when I mount it on my camera? Would the result be different from 10-22mm?

I feel kind of uneducated about this. Thanks in advance for explaining. :cool:

This particular one, that I haven't posted anywhere yet. It shows perfectly how 2 things are very much special to me. Of course the city background, and the LI locos. I feel that the railroad is much more important to me, rather than city transit. Of course it's only my preference. N'joy! :tup:

This is true, but if you want to upload them to NYCTF and you have both IRT and BMT photos then you can just put that in the General Subway Forum. Other posters do that all the time, as well as I do. This is still a good idea though. Just wondering, how do you split them across the three main folders (Subway, Bus, Railroad)? What if one day you had a lot of railroad pics and just one bus pic? Would you just put that in the Railroad folder? Then finding that one bus pic can be a hassle. Then again, you can mention busfanning in the title so I guess it's no problem.

lol ok, makes sense

 

I'm going to go with backline's plan here.

Subway Pics 2009

--A-L-6 05/31/09

Bus Pics 2009

--Roosevelt Ave.-LGA Airport-Casey Stengel 07/05/09

etc. etc.

 

Thanks everyone!

Well if you had that only bus photo, I would most likely create another folder with the trip's date on it, so in the future it will be easier to search for it, even though it's just one picture in the folder, it's a lot easier than to hassle around and trying to find something specific like this. If you have made a lot of trips for a lot of folders, you'll start to see it really works. Now for example if you mix both of the divisions together (ex: IRT and BMT/IND) you should still create separate folders for those pics in your PC, but make only one thread in the General Subway section and put them all in there. Just a word of advice!
