BNSF 5530 - BNSF 4632
Title:  BNSF 5530 - BNSF 4632
Description:  BNSF 5530 - BNSF 4632 hitting it hard after her northbound sisters cleared the diamond, pressing south with her own mixed freight as the sun continues to rise (now behind the photographer... who finally got on the other side of the tracks to put the sun behind us).

BNSF 5530
Title:  BNSF 5530
Description:  BNSF 5530 just a handful of yards before hitting the diamond cross-over, proving the great BNSF-AC-capade shuffle exists all across the country... well, at least halfway across.

BNSF 5530
Title:  BNSF 5530
Description:  BNSF 5530 southern of three in the road readiness lane sporting the ever-present complimentary color scheme A/C unit... which I would presume is not seeing use today. (Side bar: no - I couldnt find a single point in the entire frame in focus, so its not your eyes going funky. Shot at 1/1000s (not 1/100!) f6.3 ISO 800 (because of snow Id clicked up the exposure compensation dial 2/3 stops - you know, because snow isnt gray - 180mm equivalent zoom (approx 10x zoom - no, not digital, optical... the camera says it can go out to 30x optical - although if youre not going to bother having anything in focus, heck, why not use the digital zoom, too? Just kidding. I think.) - Any hints yet if its me or the camera? (If I didnt still have the broken Canon, I might consider it being me and getting older (not just crankier) and less steady... but, dang, folks - thats 1/1000s at less than 200mm - with image stabilization - yes, Ive tried it on a tripod and not better (but the camera does say its on a tripod when I do it - so at least its a smart camera, even if just as blind as myself - its one of the reasons I ditched the real camera (Pentax k1000... yes, Im that old... yes, I used it forever) - because my eyesight was shot and I couldnt manually focus - luckily the digital camera revolution had started at that time, so I went to pocket snappers (well, as small as the Olympus 340 was at the time - it was smaller than my Pentax with a 28-80mm zoom and covered about the same range of optical zoom... at a huge whopping 1-3Mb image size(!) - but that original Oly could still out-focus me on any given day. I still have the Pentax (no sense wasting money to purchase a weight set/hand dumbbell - I just put the 300mm lens on the body and hoist away for five or ten minutes... Im cranky, blind, and round - but frugal) - anyway - to say the least, my adventure in trying a Sony camera has been less than stellar.
