Ok. I was digging around in RP.net for answer to someone else, and stumbled about a picture that just flat.... embarrassed? humbled? made me completely, unbelievably more jealous that i have ever been in my life? I am not completely sure.
This thread, I guess, could be taken in a few ways, in which I really do not hope to be seen as. Possibly as tooting my own horn... I am very humble, and really kind of believe most of what I do have, to be mostly crap that needs MUCH improvement, with exception to a few. Or digging/pushing for gratification, for things that, like I said, do not mostly deserve it.
In prototype railroad photography, or any style of photography, for that matter, I have been pretty much self taught. I received such pointers from my dad, as, keep telephone poles from infront of you, little tips on front 3/4s, or lighting (always try to be on sun side, and running into the sun), iso changes, or shutter speeds on cloudy days. And, non-directly, from my uncle, try to get as much of the full train as possible. Other than that, learn as you go, and adjust your NEXT (back then, roll of 35mm prints) day of shooting.
My little sister inherited the love of photography, like the rest of dads side of family. Now, my sister as actually taken a couple of college classes on the subject at hand, and while she has a better eye at people/portraits, she will opens convey (even to her professors) that I am better than her... and I know for a fact, our dad was better than me, and our uncle was better than our dad! Both our dad and uncle are both published in Trains mag. BN Annuals, and atleast one or 2 more mags.
I tend to think I have a pretty awful decent "eye" for ideas, and spur of the moment, differences, for certain shots. I will post a few of mine, noting that some are fairly old, and do not remember where the originals are, so copied from a website. Al are mine, I swear...
And I have NO problem, what so ever with anyone using any for personal use, or if posted/copied anywhere else, all I ask is for me recognition.

Now granted we have cut down trees through the years to make spots better....but never used explosives.
