RE: Get on the GO- Oakville yard photos.

Nice shots Rob! Sometime I'd like to get to TO and shot the GO trains, very sharp consists.As for you question on editing pics, what program are you using?I use PSP7, and I save the edited photos on the lowest save compression available. That may be the problem.Hope to see more from you camera, looks like you are enjoying it!Whats the zoom and MP on it?

RE: Get on the GO- Oakville yard photos.

Thanks Jay!I'm using PSP7, I'll look into the compression issues, thanks!Yep, its a great camera! It has 6.3 MP and the current lense on it is the 18-55 which is about 28-90mm(has a 1.5 conversion rate) If you need any pointers on where to shoot near Toronto, let me know!

Good photos, Rob. I bet if you checked the fuel tank on the third unit (behind the UP), it would say "paint me". cheers,
Ernie

Don't take life too seriously, just remember what not to do next time around.

RE: Get on the GO- Oakville yard photos.

Is there really 41 degrees celsius? I thought Canada was cold country!
Our toilet at work has temp of 42C because of the temporary A/C exhaust filling it with hot air, and that feels killing hot. Or maybe the exhaust air has almost no oxygen and that makes it unbearable...

+50C?!?!?! Where abouts in Canada?? (Mental note: Avoid that place when I am in Canada!!!)Rob, Those are some awesome photos mate!!! I never thought I would hear (read) myself say (type) this...but those CN SD75I's in that paint scheme are mighty fine indeed!!! I also like the blur of the GO Transit train. It gives it a certain feel of speed!!Thanks a lot for sharing!! PS: What are those roundish boxes ontop of 529's roof?? There is a nice close yup that you did of it. >Mike Forster<
