Train Buddies Meet Up Coming and Going by taffy

Train Buddies Meet Up Coming and Going

Andie @ukandie1 planned a great photowalk today to various parking structures and train stations. The structures were chosen so we could be above ground level looking down (or at) the trains depending on what floor we went to. Here's Andie as we walked across the Chicago River: https://365project.org/taffy/the-also-ran-ph/2017-03-08 And from there you can see links to Andie's two shots from today that give you a picture of how high up were were at one point.

Thank you for your wonderful response to what I thought was just an okay shot from the Manhattan bridge -- greatly appreciated!
Cool shot. Love the light, tones and composition.

Great shot ... doesn't look like much room between them ..
March 9th, 2017  
Perfect timing with the two trains turning the corner in unison!
March 9th, 2017  
Great timing to get both trains together, and on a bend! Super shot.

Great shot, looks as though they are in a race.

Perfect timing Taffy! The light and shadows are lovely bringing out all those little details. Sounds like a great photo walk! Fav!

What a great image - your city shots are terrific.

Fantastic timing and capturel Fav.
March 9th, 2017  
I mostly have to do my photo rides alone but it is enjoyable to have company. Funny how you cannot tell which is coming or going.
March 9th, 2017  
Well except for the color of the lights.
March 9th, 2017  
AMAZING timing! Well caught!
March 9th, 2017  
ahh, city life! a great capture! fav
March 9th, 2017  
Wow! Wonderful photo with so much to take in. Fav!
March 9th, 2017  
WOW ! Catching both those trains almost side by side is amazing.
March 9th, 2017  
Awesome vantage point!
March 9th, 2017  
Terrific capture...loving the lines you captured in this shot...great light and composition
March 9th, 2017  
Great timing. Love it.
March 9th, 2017  
great capture of the ells

@lesip It was really lucky, in fact. It (two trains at the same time) doesn't happen often, we learned, as we waited in the blowing wind behind walls and then 'popped out' to the window when we thought we could hear two coming at the same time. For this one, I wasn't paying attention and heard Andie calling me to shoot quickly -- she was changing her battery and I'd been reviewing other shots -- so without her shout, I'd have missed it.

Caught together like that, those trains look almost animate - or atleast - friendly. What fantastic timing and response to capture this.
March 9th, 2017  
Excellent capture with immaculate timing!
March 9th, 2017  
Great to have them side by side Fav
March 9th, 2017  
Fab image, great composition, light and moment captured / fav
March 9th, 2017  
Your timing was perfect. I guess you planned it that way. Wonderful shot.
March 9th, 2017  
This looks rather like a model, i.e. toy, train set - the side-by-side trains and the absence of people creates that effect I think
March 9th, 2017  
Fantastic picture and perspective.
March 9th, 2017  
Great timing as they pass each other! Bet they would give each other high fives if they had hands.
March 9th, 2017  
Fantastic shot
March 9th, 2017  
Fun shot- they could be racing to the "finish line".
March 9th, 2017  
Great timing Taffy!
March 9th, 2017  
Love your perspective and timing to line them up like that! FAV!
March 9th, 2017  
Cool shot! Fabulous timing!

Another day at the races... And the "A Line" pulls ahead by a nose!
March 10th, 2017  
They have to turn such sharp corners! Great shot.
March 10th, 2017  
Wonderful timing and composition.
March 10th, 2017  
Haha...charge!!! It looks as they are racing each other, made me smile! Fav
March 10th, 2017  
@ukandie1 I was thinking b&w would have maybe been better because then it would cover up the red lights and white lights showing they were going in different directions!
March 10th, 2017  
@taffy I did not even think about the different color lights. I went back and had another look, and I still think of them both charging forward!
March 10th, 2017  
Perfect timing Taffy, I would never have guessed they were going in different directions.
March 10th, 2017  
Timed to perfection! Looks like space is very limited there
March 10th, 2017  
The race is on!
March 10th, 2017  
They do look like they are buddies travelling in tandem. Great timing. I keep coming back to see if you have left for Iceland yet. Must not be long now?
March 10th, 2017  
@bella_ss Thanks! We leave next Friday (17 - 27th). I'm so excited! Just was organizing my camera stuff today, and getting done everything for our move out of this condo before we leave for the trip.

Great timing. I was going to ask if you waited for this shot, but then read your text further back in the thread.
March 11th, 2017  
fantastic shot and great timing :)
March 13th, 2017  
Looks like they have met up for a good gossip!
March 13th, 2017  
@lizhammond I love your interpretation!
