My title is irrelevant, I changed the picture. I'm so lost.

Thanks for saying so! If I post a decent picture, or at least a picture with at least one good quality, it's great to hear from you what's good about it. I'm so new it's not even funny. I literally just got my D40 last week and I've never studied photography. However, it's a ton of fun.

Trust me, I understand. I have a whole whoppin' 3 months experience. Don't worry, people are fairly nice around here and you can learn a lot if you are open to critisism

I am boosting this old thread so as not to create a new one. I love shooting train tracks. These photos were taken earlier this year at around 4p not far from the crossing. This is NOT an abandoned track. It's an active line with both freight & commuter trains. So there I was lying on the tracks trying to get just the right angles while my poor mum served as my lookout. It was fun doing this and it also felt a bit dangerous & exciting.

Some nice shots for a 5 year-old thread.

Back then some might have been as much film as they were digital.

Believe the only DSLR's Nikon offered back then were D1# Series, D100, and D70, if I am not mistaken.

Very wise, KalaMarie, else your new thread would have been merged with this existing one ;-).

The threads in the Photo Themes are never "out" and can be "boosted" at all times.

In order to add something to this thread, I might add this collage which is quite old, photos taken in 2005, I think. I haven't taken photos of trains of late, I'm afraid...

Love this one.

Thank you kindly! I shot that in Harriman, Tennessee in 2001 with my very first digital camera, a .8 MP (yeah, point 8 MP!!) Sony Mavica. It recorded on a floppy disk. LOL! Still one of my favorite photos though.
