Are the coal trains something new? I have never seen you post photos of them before this. I love the next to last shot of the commuter train rounding the bend with the water in the background.
They have been coming out here for a couple of years, but the traffic has picked way up in the last few months. They are running about every other day now. They set out the long train, and the Richmond Pacific break them up into smaller sets to unload at the port, then they start setting out the empites for the return trip.Are the coal trains something new?

Haha! Thanks. Actually that was only 400mm, I could get closer ;-pGreat Stuff. Quite a variety. I like your curvey track and the large hills in the backround. I think the engineers and conductors are going to have to shave a little closer, if you keep shooting those telephotos into the cab. Thanks. TZ
Thanks! It's been a good couple of months for some interesting traffic out here.Wow, some great shots there! Thanks for sharing![]()
I've been mainly shooting wildlife for the last few weeks, but I may go chase trains this weekend, so stay tuned for more as always!
Do both!![]()
Not a bit. I was out at the wildlife refuges this past weekend, and there should be thousands of birds there by now, and they are empty and dry.Almost November and no green in the Golden State.

I'm not going to have much to shoot with my new 7d2 when it arrives later this week.
You are getting a 7DII?![]()
I am seriously thinking about getting one as well. It appears to have most of the features of the 1DX that I like at 1/4 the price. I am going to wait until I see the presentation by a Canon rep at Kenmore Camera's annual photo expo in two weeks.
I am thinking of upgrading to a full frame in the spring. I will be interested to see how the 7DII works. I like the way the Canon images look.
