Brighton Local Posted March 24, 2008 Share #9 Posted March 24, 2008 Maybe a better grip between the wheels and rails for acceleration, when the trains takes off.? I know they use sand or something like that on the Brighton Line & Staten Island Railway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo M 201 Posted March 25, 2008 Share #15 Posted March 25, 2008 Nice shots error! But the case with this shot: Heres what you could've done. You could've taken a few more stops back and then shoot. OR, you could've waited one or two more seconds and shoot when the back of the train is past the signal. Just my $0.02. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred G Posted April 4, 2008 Share #24 Posted April 4, 2008 Great stuff, E! Pablo gave you spot on advice about that signal. Just keep your eye in the screen/viewfinder and watch the train go by. Click when it's hot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
