Still got the shot though, Harry!

That's comforting, but I had to take several before I got the right one. I knew you would take some sort of contradictory stance.

un cliché bien difficile à réaliser sans moteur...une belle leçon de patience pour un magnifique résultat !!! a very difficult to achieve without engine ... a lesson of patience for a great result!

Nice work on this one Harry, I like the pov you used

The light at the end of the tracks; no tunnel in sight! A lovely shot, well taken especially considering your difficulties with the screen as viewfinder. I don't think I'd like that on a daily basis, for the very reason that you don't. I know there is an aid made for that for DSLRs, I think it's called a screen loupe, but it would depend on the size of your screen. Still, you might be able to find (or make) something that works for you. You did well here, I'm fascinated by the colours in the rocks on each side of the tracks, as well as the little shadows thrown by the rocks in between the tracks on the near cross bar. Great work!

A truly amazing shot. The sun drew two bright lines on the track. The wood planks are golden brown leading to an endless journey to a fiery sunrise . Well composed

excellent!

M A R V E L O U S ! ! ! Just MARVELOUS !!!

Wonderful lighting my friend, excellent work!

I just got back harry, and I'm only able to leave a couple of comments right now...I'll do more after the holiday. But I wanted to do this and one other right now. (Well I want to do all the others, but can't right now.) I found only 2 solutions to the LCD reflection problem, btw: One, using one hand as a shield, which means you have to do everything else with the other hand---not easy. Or, make up some kind of "cape," like the cloth old time photographers used over their "box" to make a dark space in which they looked into the camera. ("Camera" comes from the same root as "chamber," and as you know those old cameras were literally chambers.) I have no idea how to make that permanent, however, and allow it to be pulled up the rest of the time: I just took a dark cloth and used it by taping it to the camera with drafting tape (so it wouldn't leave any residue). But I don't know that that works for more than a shot or two. BUT! A wonderful sun-shot of tracks, with the light not only illuminating the distance, but shedding its grace all over the tracks and stones and ties at the very front of the image. It illuminates everything into a very textured almost eerie atomized glow. And the buildings/walls, etc, to both sides, seem drenched in it too (even though they're in shadow). Love how the sun "liquifies" the tracks in the background. You've given us a lot of variations in your track shots over the years, and this is a wonderful addition. (I remember one in deep darkness.) And I like the slight tilt too. I appreciate the challenge of doing this with reflections all over the LCD, but it resulted in a very vivid glowing shot. Fine work. (And that's quite a sun for this time of year!)

This is my last comment for tonight. I drive back to San Antonio tomorrow, (I've been with my mom in Lake Charles) so it may be a few days before I'm back in your gallery, but not too long.) I've had the same trouble with the LCD monitor. I'm going to try Auntiek's solution and get me a hat with a large brim, but you wouldn't want the one I'm getting. :) The difficulty seeing didn't stop you from getting a beautiful image! I love the bright rails running down to a vanishing point, lost in a glow of light. Wonderful detail and texture. I like the light on the rocks. They are so beautifully defined. It makes me remember how I used to feel when I got new glasses and everything was so clear it felt like I could count every leaf on a tree. Looking at your picture, it feels like I could count every rock. Needless to say, I'm not going to try. Beautiful image, Harry!
