Fred were you standing on the train tracks as a train was appoaching? I wish I had time this season to get out and do some fall shooting but with my travel schedule I'm swamped

Tom, we bolth know that standing on the train tracks while a train is approaching is just stupid!

I think he was doing about 55-60.... :shock:

Fred, back in 1997-2001, I was shooting the diesel transition. Got tons of prints if you like RR stuff.

these look like ealry AM shots. Call me, I am dying to catch some diesel action and I'll see if we can round up a freighter or two!

[kc2aqg]

Hey Mario-

Let me know if you do any RR shooting, I think I might actually like to come along for that. I have a big interest in all things transportation, but especially diesels...

[AirtrafficController]

Wow Fred great nature shots. Nice to see you blend nature with civilization.

[stuart schechter]

Just don't get caught trespassing!

[mirrodie]

Fred, I just realized....that second shot is Sweet hollow Road, isnt it?!

[mirrodie]

FAO TOM and FRED, how are the leaves over by you?

Shoshana and I had our engagement photos taken in October at the Arboretum

and then again last year while 6 months pregnant. Wondering if the leaves are such that we'll head over there this weekend and bring the little guy for photos in the leaves. Any color out there? At its peak?

Thanks for the kind words. It is usually be popping a quick shot of a train here and there. During this time a year, everything is magical!

Very good point that should not be overlooked.

Bingo

I left you an email...by any water is is past peak by 2 days or so, but it is STILL BEAUTYFUL!!! Not near a lake river or pothole with some standing water and you will need to wait a few more days.

Here is a great link report for current conditions

As for the questions about going out...I just stop by for about 1/2 hour when I can and take a picture. No planning except for location on the way.

Here are two more shots

This is a picture of an electric train :borat:

[mirrodie]

sweet shots! and thanks for the call and link fred!

[Derf]

Anytime Mario :borat:

I love the Albany overlook, the tree has great color and I love the distant clouds. how long of a drop is the edge? Looks scary!!!

[T-Bird76]

Fred amazing photos! You scare me with that train stuff though, no playing on the train tracks! Really though great stuff. I wish I was able to get out this fall and do some shotting. Hopefully we'll get a nice little snow storm and I can get some snow shots. If anyone needs lesson in high speed driving on snow covered roads, call Fred. "See Tom if you accelerate through the spin you'll be fine." LOLOLOL Ah yes the adventures I've had with Fred..drag racing on closed runways, decapitation by helicopter, and Fred's version of the Skip Barber driving school in snow. lololol

[stuart schechter]

Wow, I thought you said dead person. phew! Nice picture! I am gonna go out and do some AMD 103 Amtrak and MNR. Hopefully I can get a CSX that runs north too.

Roughly 250 feet before you'd hit the trees in the valley.

Damn, Dan, that's an incredible shot!

[lijk604]

Great everything Dan! That is a dramatic shot!

[nikon50bigma]

Yeah! Awesome shot, great colors and water blur.
What was the shutter speed on that?

[nikon50bigma]

Since Verteran's Day weekend is next week, I've been thinking about going out to do some fall shooting.
Could someone recommend somewhere else besides Central Park in the city that is good for fall shooting?
Or do I have to go up state or out to long island for the good stuff :?:
Thanks

Prospect Park in Brooklyn is quite nice, as are the surrounding neighborhoods. But there isn't a lot of uniformity in tree colors.

[nikon50bigma]

adam613, Thanks I'll try to head out there next weekend.

Clove lakes Park in HDR

[stuart schechter]

Now I wish I could do HDR. I have been reading a lot about it, but how? PM me with tips.

[nikon50bigma]

Has anyone been to the NY botanical garden? Hows that place for fall photo ops?

[adam613]

A few pics I took in Prospect Park last week:
