WW&F Newsletter
« on: February 10, 2015, 06:20:29 PM »
I looked at the photo on the front page of the most recent WW&F newsletter (Jan/Feb 2015) and thought I was back at Edaville. What a nice photo, and a nice train! A great accomplishment to see 5 cars behind #10. Bill Robie

As WW&F Newsletter editor, I really liked this shot for several reasons. 1) It's technically good, i.e. well lit, sharp, etc. 2) It's artistically excellent. 3) It reflects the joy of the occasion, i.e. a trainload of people in a beautiful setting. 4) It's unusual. We've never had a five-car passenger train before, and it's not the usual 3/4 shot of Number 10 charging across the Humason Trestle.

Bill,

  Some of us use a photo host site, like photobucket. The site allows you to upload, edit and share your photos. There are others like flikr that I am less familiar with that may also work.

Bill I use photobucket to host my photos. You can get a free account which is good enough to post pictures on the forum.

I guess I should try Photobucket to learn how that allows bypassing the 128KB limit for posting on the Forum. When I saved your nice, clear image above, from the newsletter cover, it shows as 231 KB. I have other Edaville and #5 Pleasure Island images, but at a fuzzy 128KB max., they're not worth doing. Bill Robie
