Hi,

Yesterday we did a day trip to the mountains and did a 5 hour train ride through the mountains. Was a beautiful day and a good excuse to take pictures So over the next several days i will post pics from that excursion. After the train ride we stopped at a waterfall. Todays pictures involve that waterfall. I purposely took 2 pics to show you the difference in normal camera shutter speed that freezes the action of the water and using a slower speed to show the fluid feeling motion of the water. Once i had my settings were I wanted for the second picture I set the camera down and turned the timer on so that i did not have to click the button causing any camera blur. Here are the result:

The second picture is awesome! First, I don't like how the water looks (sorry) LOL!

Just_Jim, that fountain picture is awesome!!!!!

Bug, love seeing BOTH pics like that and love the softer look of the water. Great job and thanks for sharing both shots!

Here is a different perspective of the same fountain. This was taken during the daytime. And like Bug's waterfall you can tell the difference between shutter speeds and the way the water looks. The night pic was with a shutter speed of 1 second while the day was 1/640 of a second. The night time pic was a much better exposure IMO.

Hi,

The next several days I will continue with pictures from our train ride. It was an amazing ride through the mountains. We stopped at a small depot in the mountains to get off of the train and eat lunch and walk around a bit and of course take pictures.

Hi,

Continuing with the train ride this is a view of the mountains and valley from the train.



Bug

Hi,

The train ride through the mountains had it's scary moments. The track in places was cut into the mountain side and it was a log way down the side of the mountain.

AHHHHH! LOL Sounds like it was a cool ride!!

I took this pic of the sunset a few days ago. The corn is really tall now, can't believe how fast time is passing by! Not as colorful as some of the sunsets we've had, but the differences in the clouds were really cool, some looked almost black.

Today's picture is of our dog, Max. I know his ears are cut off in the pic but I swear, when he sees my camera he just keeps moving so I can't get a good pic, lol! He just kept looking away and I snapped this quick when he turned towards me.

those are really pretty [=

nice picture of the dog! Dogs are amazing!

great pictures!

Both of those were during Tropical Storm Hanna. I love taking pictures of the weather. I think by the end of the storm, we had about 2.2 inches of rain, though, but it got to be too dark to take any pictures outside (or to see the little frog).

Love the train pics, sounds like something fun to do and enjoy our beautiful scenery!

And the doggie is adorable, great pic!
