Hello

I just joined today and I'm new at this.

I love Railroad crossing and trains ever since I was a little kid!

I even have an active YouTube account. I've been a member since August of 2012, and so far I have a 74 train videos.

I film NJ Transit Trains as well as New York Susquehanna and Western Trains.

I will be filming CSX trains and NS train soon too.

I love to railfan and I'm a very friendly

I hope to make some new friends here! And can anyone show me how this forum works?

Thank You!

Welcome, Freedomtowerman!

Please post a link to your YouTube channel! I'd like to see what you have.

Thank You for the warm welcome!

Sure. Here's the link!

Some of my older videos are shaky because it's before I didn't have a Tri-pod.

After my trip to Emerson NJ, my videos no longer were shaky.

Enjoy!

Also, I like how you use a tripod, shaky railfan videos are a pet peeve of mine

TO LARDLOGO:

Thanks!

I know how you feel. I don't like shaky videos either.

That's why when I got money last christmas I bought a tripod. I feel that it has improved my videos 100%.

The only problem that I have is that if I get to a crossing with just a few seconds before the train arrives, I have to eush to the tripod and camera ready. It can be a real pain sometimes.

Yes, especially when they move around Cloverfield style, also it is hard to setup when the gate has already lowered and it takes awhile (especially when it is unexpected)
