Sunday, December 20, 2009

(Or Caitlin is home again!) I got to stay the night with nana and granmpa, then we drove all the way to Shelby so I could watch the train come in.  The Darn thing was 25 minutes early! Oh, and Tante KnickKnack was there, too… (All photos from the Nikon Coolpix L11 on Auto!) That’s […]

Day 296 – Another SP4449 Wallpaper!

Monday, October 19, 2009

This one turned out looking much like an aged Kodachrome would after all the years since this engine ran a regular route.  Of course, that was in California, not Montana! (1/210, f2.8, 6.2mm/37mm equivalent, ISO 64, Nikon Coolpix L11, out my car window…I need to get a driver!) ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 295 – SP4449 Wallpaper!

Monday, October 19, 2009

These photos are much bigger than you see here.  Be sure to click on them (twice!) to see them full sized; BACK to return here. The sun came out between Cutbank and Browning.  I picked these two out as being very nice wallpapers! (1/800, f6.3, 17mm, ISO 100) I thought this one turned out rather […]

Sunday, October 18, 2009

I came up with this animation of the train steaming oiff into the distance.  It is a little rough, but the viudeo I took with the Nikon Coolpix is 26-50 megabytes in size!  You may have to click on it to get it to start. ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 293 – More of the SP4449!

Sunday, October 18, 2009

I stopped along the Highline (US Highway 2 runs across the top of Montana and we call it the Highline) three times between Shelby and Browning to shoot photos of SP4449.  It was nice to hear about it ahead of time for once, rather than after the fact! Coming into Shelby for a short stop. […]
