Railfanning in Modesto at the Amtrak Station along the BNSF

[conguero76]

i don't get it....not a rail fan. at least the second scene has some perspective and detail that makes it visually interesting. I suggest filling the frame more...half the frame is not interesting. If I were shooting. I would put the point of convergence of the tracks (near the horizon) at the edge of the frame and the other side would be full-on rail cars with some wide angle distortion. just a tip from a photographer/videographer..

@conguero76 That makes sense. I'll try that the next time I am out and about.

Nice looking stuff, good to see some recent stuff from out there!

[sjrailfan]

@SF3751 Get ready for more because after I get things settled down around here, with Donner Pass being one of the spots I wanna hit up this year.

@sjrailfan Haha sweet. I'm so behind in my upload's cause of school, sucks, cause im still getting out to places like Denver at the moment. Just means im getting even more behind. O well. I'll be rolling through Modesto one last time on my way home Saturday.

@SF3751 I would've went if my truck did not need brakes so badly. I need to get a newer truck.

[sjrailfan]

Hell yeah. I wanna do Donner Pass and go up to Dunsmuir this year.

[CoastStarlight11]
