Check out these new pun topics! Wearing of the "ORANGE" Wearing of the "GREEN" Lets turn a color into this week's challenge! How about "Wearing of the RED" Show us some piece of railroad equipment that is painted RED. New photos are highly encouraged. One photo per member. "Times up" will be posted next Monday so don't wait until the last minute. After the "times up" I'll post the poll for everyone on TrainBoard to choose their favorite image.
Was thinking of something recently: Would a photo taken of a photo, taken some time back be considered a "new" photo?? If I pulled up an older photo on computer, took photo of that photo on computer screen, and entered that? Would the photo of the old photo be considered "new"?? I seriously doubt it, but I thought I'd ask anyway!
Sure doesn't hurt to ask, but no, that would not be pass for a new photo. Thankfully, new photos are only... "encouraged"... this round.
So basically, another photo contest. Only subject is requird to be of the specified color?? Obviously, I missed something recently! Not the first time either. Oh well..........Will have to see if there's anything in town that fits the requirements. If not, I'll have to make a trip real soon! Could be interesting.
Signal Boards Red boards at CPA086 with one lone green signal for an eastbound coal train to crossover from 2 to 1 at Beverly.
A photo from the day after Thanksgiving, but a southbound DMU pulls into Schopp, Germany enroute to Pirmasens:
I'm in. I just gotta wait until Sunday AM to go get photo op! Have no choice but to wait, unfortunately. Hopefully, it'll be worth the trip.
Unless I can get my photo op today, I'm out! Slept for half the day yesterday, so I couldn't get out and get my preferred shot! Have Dr appt in 20 minutes, so I'm thinking of making a run after that. I hope!
And Keith takes the win with this AWESOME Rotary shot! Keith also shared an idea with me that I like and think we'll give a try. The winner of the current challenge, (in this case, Keith) gets to choose the topic for the next challenge! So Keith, what shall we photograph (or browse our previously shot archives for) this week?! Also, since Keith will chose the topic, we'll exclude him from this challenge to make sure someone else gets to choose the next topic (at which point Keith can rejoin the competition). But I'll explain all this in the announcement post again. For now, let's just marvel at this beautiful rotary!
