Got to play with the DSLR more (still trying to learn). Met some new friends. Hung out with an old one I hadn't seen in a while. Enjoyed the beautiful day as well! Not bad for a rare afternoon off!
Four leading but no DPUs. Still seemed overpowered. And thank you!
Tried a new spot downtown last night. Bugs eventually drove me off but it was a nice night out and I needed out of the house. Other than shooting through a fence, it wasn't too bad. Not perfect for photos unless you're looked specifically for broadside shots, but I figured I'd try it. Even caught a few GEVOs camped on the bridge over the creek for a bit.
Plus a mesocyclone in an embedded HP supercell from a brief chase in northeast Nebraska at the beginning of the month. I want to take more weather photos pretty bad.
No picture, just sharing an old article I remember reading and forgot to share. Some of you may have seen a Kawasaki special they run on the UP out of Lincoln a time or two.
Quick one from the other night. Was out and about and since it was a lovely evening I decided to dust off my camera (been a crazy past few weeks). Trying to get a few different perspectives in and around Lincoln.
Been a while since I've made a post here. A move to the Kansas City area as well as going through a stretch of time without a lens for my camera did not help. Also, the fact that my first ever attempt to get track-side down here ended with a railroad employee calling the cops on me all because he saw my scanner and thought I had stolen it (thank you Amazon order archives).
Did a quick return to Lincoln a week or so before Christmas and drug my friend Curtis to Ashland to see some action. No where near the parade I've seen a few times, but it wasn't completely dead either. Being a weather enthusiast/storm chaser, my first choice of lens to purchase was an ultra-wide angle so it limits you on the type of shots you can take...
Might have to start a new generic thread for if I'm ever able to get trackside again down here. Happy 2016, everyone!
Yeah! I live about a half mile away from the BNSF Ft. Scott Sub here in Lenexa. I can hear the parades go by all day and night as Lenexa doesn't have a quiet zone in place for their 2 grade crossings in the Old Towne area. Emporia Sub is about 3-4 miles to my west. In picking out spots to go check out I stumbled upon a map someone made of locations they've visited and watched traffic from. Hope to get out tomorrow on my day off (and the anticipated 40s vs. 20s).
