Railfan Technology > Shots from this morning using a level tripod

I got a couple of shots this morning using my tripod. It's pretty amazing how many unnoticed things that are out there to help in taking your pics. I saw a power pole that I usually have to crop out but never used it to level the camera. Also porch spindles on the house across the tracks. Y'all are just fantastic!!!!!!!

I also noticed this morning (by using these landmarks) that I do tend to hold the camera slightly lower on the right. Which is what the shot from yesterday of the SP/UP DPU's bears out.

I really appreciate all the help. Now to start working on correcting some bad habits.

Be careful about using poles as vertical reference points. Not all poles are created equal :-)....nor are cantilever signal bridges!

I don't see a problem with # 1
