Never thought that I would get such a nostalgic kick looking at this forum, so keep those trains a rollin'. As a kid in the 50's I'd watch the big Southern Pacific trains working their way up the western Sierra grades. But my real thrill was riding in the cabs of little steam engines at sawmills in northern Calif., while my dad carried on business as an executive with Fruit Growers (Sunkist). Everyone of those big mills had roundtables and huge ponderosa and sugar pine logs would come in by flatcar and be dumped into the mill ponds. Alas, way too young for photography...
I'm glad you had some success on your train ride. You deserveman with all the work you have put into your "261" shots. These black cameras can produce some great stuff when you look through viewfinder instead of looking at the corner pixels. We are a happy lot aren't we?

truer words were never spoken, if you want a good laugh just look at the "other" forum and all the handwringing that goes on here on a daily basis
The d100 was a great camera at a great price. We sold ours and moved to the 20d, though. Mainly because I (the son) bought one because of pricepoint and speed, then wrecked my car... So I sold it to my stepdad (who owns the studio) for even cheaper seems how he was looking to upgrade his d100 (and, primarily, because the newspaper he also works for bought canon gear and lenses, so he thought consolodating to one system was a good idea).
We got some large prints out of the D100. It still performs admirably.
John, have you considered sending a copy of this in to WHCC for printing on their metalic paper? I think it would be STUNNING with this type of treatment. Give it a try!
