Railpictures.net Challenge Part Trois

by **~Z~** » Sat Jan 30, 2016 10:26 pm

Railohio started this contest for himself back in July 2009, we hopped on the bandwagon and started this in July as well, see this thread: http://railroadfan.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=14042

Then we did Challenge Part Deux in March 2011: http://railroadfan.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=20411

The goal is for each photographer who is sending them shots to try to get one picture accepted every single day(midnight-11:59pm) of February. Be sure to submit earlier in the day as we know they don't always touch their queues at night. If you get one rejected, keep trying until one sneaks through for the day. Just reply to this thread if you are in, and then as you get your photos accepted, just do what Aleks did last time and keep editing your post to include your new pics: http://railroadfan.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=14042#p100614

Even if you miss a day, try to keep along and double up if need be. Interesting if we can actually get someone to get a photo accepted every single day during February. Aleks and I were able to make it all the way through last time. Remember, the photo submitted can be taken any day, not just during the month of February.

There's no real prize or anything, just nice to see what some of you guys have sitting on your backlog of photos.

I probably have enough to submit every day for at least the next three months. :lol:

I can't remember if I did anything the last time, so I'll participate this time!

He was steady every day until the 24th and missed that day.

RP's site is broken for me. Neither main site nor the forums are loading. Anyone else experiencing that?

Positive.. took almost 2 minutes to jog back from where i was north of 126th after the pushers went by until I reached my car parked at 126th Ave. Was standing near where the black hopper is in your photo.

Figured as much. I just wanted you to admit it. TRESPASSER!! :lol:

(now I'm going to have to hike up to that spot with my tall tripod to get an elevated shot of that curve.

Nothing to do with grammar. Simply a fat-finger mistake while typing and I didn't catch it before and after submitting. I'd thank you for bringing it to my attention, but while submitting day 3's photo, I noticed the error and corrected it before coming to this thread and reading your post.
