Steam & Excursion > Photo to Please Keystone1

Just look at this, no canteen, no diesels, rods down, perfect smoke for the occasion, darn, it was the middle of the night.

I have a lot of shots just like that. Thanks, nycman. I needed that one. <laughing hysterically>

I hope you don't mind I normally don't try to alter someone else's photos but it just seemed a little to dark to me. I was able to lighten it up a bit to bring out a few of the details not seen in the original.

Uhhhhhh.....I have a few of those, too. Nice to see a bit of humor on TO once in a while.

If only Trainorders had a "like" button!

Lately people on various boards have been waxing enthusiastic about photos in which I can't see much. And now this! Maybe I should adjust my monitor.

Thanks, Photobob, that was a definite improvement over the original!

Now, I know I'm old, and the eyesight now requires glasses, but I'm having a REAL PROBLEM determining the wheel arrangement there!

Needed a little cropping.

Great shot, Jim!

I must have been standing right next to you, but I panned it.

So which one do you think will make "Image of the day"?

All great shots, but I don't think ANYTHING will please Keystone1!

Nah, that's a photo from the fertility clinic

Brings to mind when I was doing a lot of race car photography and I submitted a similar black image to the Road & Track photo contest with the caption: "View inside the engine of Denny Hulme's CanAm McLaren near red line on the back straight at Riverside."

I got a really nasty letter from some poobah at the magazine saying the contest was only for serious entries. That mag STILL doesn't have a sense of humor. And they never returned my slide.

I hate to throw cold water on a fine photo...but this appears to be
a potential copyright violation of previous photo(s) I once attempted
to post here on TO. I would suggest that you examine the fine detail
as I did to assure that it is/is not your original work.

Uh oh, someone put American flags on the engine. He's not going to like this!

Now wait just a minute. If you look closely at the first photo (before the cropping and photoshop)you can clearly see the back of your head and top of your left shoulder....I took that shot just as you jumped in front of me in the photo line!! That's it.I'll see all of you in court.

Cheers, Dave

Nope, just a night photo shoot at Owasso in 2009.
