Busy day, good stuff. Like the clarity of focus on the long telephoto shots.
You letting it auto-focus or are you doing it manually?

zoom zoom zoom! very nice variety of shots and angles. Seems the focus is doing quite well even on the long telephoto ones. Do you have choices about focus points, or changing quickly as the train approaches? Great selection here scott, looking forward to more! You saw just a few more than i did in lansing :)
