    I was wondering how general "container" was going to be used. My 1st thought was shipping container but my shot from yesterday wasn't too good. Since hoppers and tanks are containers, I'll have a MUCH better entry.

    If you are ever track side photographing those containers going by on a train, and look up to see this coming your way, you are fixing to be in a world of hurt. Inter box connectors used to hold the containers together are sometimes left loose on top of those containers and can bounce off and onto your head. Be careful out there.

    Russ, is that an action photo, or can you perform levitation?

    Action.:tb-biggrin: Set the timer on camera mounted on tripod and try to heave at the right instant. After many tries, my front yard has some dents.
