Steam & Excursion > Silverton, Co arrivals and departures

Ive been sitting on this video for a while because I was not happy with it. Its a bit shaky. But today I decided to go for it (maybe I'll win shaky video of the month award). I learned 2 things during and after the trip to Silverton, 1. as I get older I can't seen to hold the camera as still as I once could, and 2. I'm forgetting things (the tripod).

Thanks for attempting to view it.

That video is nothing to be ashamed of.

Definitely nothing to be ashamed of there, especially considering how much telephoto you had in some of those. Heck, I couldn't hold a VHS camera that steady 20 years ago, and I know how small these new digital ones are.
Sometimes all of us need to be reminded that this is a hobby, we are not all professionals, and to just enjoy what someone captured of a steam event where the viewer was not present in person, but the photographer was gracious enough not only to capture it but to share with those who were not there. I enjoyed your video very much and thank you for sharing it with us.

Thank you for your comments, but maybe I mislead you about the video. I'm not ashamed about it at all In fact I like the way it finally came out. What I did not like was the fact that I was stupid not to have taken along the tripod.
