            Thanks all. I almost didn't bother to post it. Not really sure what my expectations were considering it was rushed, taken in full manual mode using the monopod and me crouching down with my back leaning against a fence - in other words if they weren't low, they should have been. I do love the raindrops. Roger, I'm so culturally unhip, that I'll have look up that reference.

            Now that I know that Monday is the new day that the train comes thru town, I can plan better.

                  I missed recent posts 'cause we're out in the mountains camping and just got some cell service. That train shot, Glen, has to be one of your best so far. Sometimes things just happen.

                    Wow, thanks Sandy. Another shot that makes me question my self critiquing.

                      Looks great. I find we tend to take pics from a standing position to often, don't lower ourselves for that different perspective.

                        Thanks. As far as positioning, I'm usually that guy sitting, kneeling, or squatting down trying for a different perspective. About the only time I photograph at normal standing height is when photographing in town.

                          Got out for a few days camping (RV) at a local mountain lake about an hours drive from home and got some cool shots.

                            Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

                              Yes, beautiful. I like how the eagle is just chillin on one foot.
                              And the always well shot wide open and big scenery.
