That is a legit concern. I still upload no more than 1200 px on the long side here and on Flickr. There are just too many people "re-purposing" images these days. I see my stuff on websites...

Hi John,

Hmmmm.... This looks like a pretty nice photo to me. It would be one thing if it were a weathered CSX diesel, but this is definitely not common power.

Ugh! There's a train shot that will grab a lot of views.....for all of the wrong reasons. Sad loss of a historic building. Grain elevators look pretty innocuous, but they can be pretty...

Right. That's the reason why charter operators strictly control the use of drones. They make noise, which really tees off the video guys. Still guys like me generally don't care, as long as they...

Amen. It may be because I am getting old, but I don't find U2-style photos of trains to be at all pleasing to the eye. If I owned a drone, I might be shooting at a 30-degree down-angle from...

Both NS and CSX need to pay a designer to come up with a snazzier logo and more striking corporate colors, at least IMHO. :roll: Virtually any of the so-called "hurtage oonits" were better looking...

Hmmmm. Not being tuned in to "social media", I would have no earthly idea what you are talking about. Does this involve the "World's Greatest Railroad Photographer?" That's just a wild guess.
