AMTK 44 and AMTK 818
Title:  AMTK 44 and AMTK 818
Description:  AMTK 44 shooting into Vancouver before I can fully get into position - so this is completely camera angle - we didnt get *that* much snow. And the wonderful "fast" (sarcasm marks) Sony manages to miss every one of the AMTK 818 (odd - this is the number on the starboard side partially visible in several frames - yet the following week, I have 189 as the number two unit - albeit the second unit does switch which end is facing north - just found it interesting... too bad "I" missed all the shots) just off her aft section (yes - I know I can set it up to shoot 10 frames in about 2 seconds... but the recovery time after doing that is so huge, you learn quickly NOT to do it because itll process each of the images and display them (and I have my chimp mode set to off/zero) so even snapping two or three frames, not the entire ten results in five to ten seconds of camera down time - not that I just love my Sony (moderate sarcasm marks) camera - but, uh, dang - did Canon really have me that spoiled?) - northbound double header passenger service making a super-fast stop in Vancouver before quickly accelerating away before I can even get around the corner and into the station to try and snag some additional power shots.
