It's true what you say. I can take 50 or more photos of the same subject in an attempt to get that one perfect photo. Thanks Jim.

And thank you on behalf of all railroad enthusiasts :) The biggest problem with using phrases like "excessive photography" is that the average citizen does not understand what they think they see. To them anyone taking more than one snapshot is excessive, however a photographer may be composing his shot, waiting for better lighting, or even waiting for a particular setting (eg. two trains passing each other). For that matter they may not even realize when a photographer is not even taking pictures - reminds me of the guy that yelled at me on a NY subway train a while ago not to take his picture. I just yelled back loud enough for everyone to hear "That would be a miracle considering the lens cap is on". The other photographers I was with laughed and so did a few other passengers... On a side note - I wonder if the CTA is paying royalties to New York's MTA for use of the trademarked phrase "If you see something say something". Excellent!!
