A friend of mine just asked me why I don't just post all my photography on Facebook. 1: Facebook automatically reduces the quality of any posted photograph by something around 90%. 2: Anyone can get on DA or go to my DA gallery and do a word search to find pictures of topics they are interested in.  My photographs aren't just for people I know. 3: Speaking of which, there is the boredom factor.  Only a minority of my friends are interested in Route 66, turtles, abandoned farm houses.  My stream of photographs would quickly become tedious and they would soon tune me out. I'm sure there are other reasons than those (feel free to remind me o

I stopped posting pictures back in May when I realized that my photo editing program had been automatically saving my photo's at a lower quality than they started out as. I have all these photos stored in "stash" and I really want to redo all of those that were effected. Then there is also the issue of that I don't know which of the photos I've already posted are effected by this. Because it is just so discouraging, I don't think I have the willpower to even begin to redo the submissions. I've made the decision to just try and force my way though and post what I have and then try to put this behind me.

This year, my wife and I took a three week trip out west. We took the train for most of the way and it was fun. I enjoyed being able to look out the windows at the scenery without having to worry about the road ahead of me. One thing that did bother me a little was that there were so many times when I would have liked to have stopped and gotten a closer look at something and perhaps take some pictures. We took thousands of pictures and I have over 600 posted on Flickr. I won't post that many on here, but I wanted to mention some of the problems of taking photos from a moving train. Focusing is impossible. If nothing else, the foreground will always be blurry. While shooting through windows, you have to deal with reflections, glare, tinting, dirt. Most importantly, you only get one chance because the train just keeps on moving down the line.
