Thanks to all. This was difficult because the train was so wobbly and the first shots I took were totally out of focus because of movement. I kicked the iso up to about 1400 and was shooting at about 1/1000 of a sec to try to stop motion. I seemed to work and you are right--The scenery is AWESOME. It was totally overcast and threatened rain all day so I didn't have to worry about shadows or split lighting. It was just wonderful shooting. I probably shot 600 exposures. Each one nicer than the next. I want to do it again!!!! Thanks for the nice comments. #794188
