Pictures 2008 trip from Elko to Pittsburgh

[S Unger]

I posted some of the photos of the ride between Salt Lake City and Denver on Photobucket. Since I'm just getting a handle on how Photobucket works, bear with me.

As far as I'm concerned this ride is a must, someday I want to take it in the winter. http://s477.photobucket.com/albums/rr133/SDUnger/2008 trip on the California Zephyr/

Try getting that camera up close and personal with the windows next time-- you'll avoid that weird reflection that makes it look like your pictures are haunted. I've found the SSL is the worst place on a train to take pictures. Use the window by your seat or in your room because there is less light to disturb your camera's settings.

Given the fact that I was trying to enjoy the ride I wasn't concerned with the picture quality. If memory serves me correctly, my roomette was on the opposite side of the train anyway, someday I'll invest in some filters too!
