PS: far be it from me to criticize a NIKON, but isn't the focus off a

would have thought the loco would be.

You have an "old" D3X?

Poser. What did you really take this photo with?

Yep, that was breath-taking: I couldn't stop laughing for almost three
minutes when I saw it. Damn, almost back to normal rhythm now, there!

Was that with a Nokia or an iPhone?

Couldn't. You continually remove the exif information from pictures
that you post and the quality is usually so low that they could have
been taken with cell phones. Of course, I only post low resolution
pics, too, so that is not meant as a criticism.

Wasn't there another person who shot train photos? From the UK I believe.

I'm reading this in rec.photo.EQUIPMENT.35mm so unless there's something
else you want to demonstrate, yes withholding that info kills the
discussion. Or the point is that a D3x can take web snapshots?
