Eric, are they doing a railfan day this year? If so when?

[o00o00ozy]

I don't know where they are held. I'm sure they have them all over the state.

Man, get a tripod and you'll be a real pro at it, good catches though and shoot at fast shutter speed, that will help with the video also, thanks for posting, oh by the way I've got NS one block away and CSX 5 miles away, both are double track mainlines!

[o00o00ozy]

Yo I got a tripod, but this was way back when. And since some are in zoom, for example, 3x zoom is 3x the shakiness. Which is better, 15 FPS or 30 FPS? I used to do 30 FPS but 15 works out well, and it makes filming easier.

[jmehl77]

30fps is fine, it might be youtube too, oh and on the tripod, just thought I would suggest it's not criticise, just thought I would try to help man, CHILL! The catches are a good time to watch, I did say thanks, I just wish I could get some of mine on here, ok my bad, I don't know how to do this, I admit! I've only got analog vids, got any ideas, oh btw it's all hi8 and in stereo?

[o00o00ozy]

I'm not really sure, all I do is take footage, import to computer via cable, drag the clips into a video editor program, and make the video, then post on youtube =D. Oh and about the frames, I think because some were in 3x zoom and I was closeby it made a more of a jolting effect... I hope you can get your videos on that would be great!
