But I wasn't the only 1 who did.  Last but not least...  Enjoy!!! |

Teacher: Terrapin, how do you spell crocodile?Terrapin: K-R-O-C-K-A- D -I-A-L Teacher: That's wrong Terrapin: Maybe its wrong but you asked me HOW I SPELL IT. No one asked you to butt in with comments. Facts about the good view from the platform was OK. But you don't know how I used the words "amazed" and "sharp." Do you have to try and be an authority on everything posted?? David Harrison |

I just said don't be amazed, because there are great views from the platforms, and many people utilize them. As for the word "sharp", if you think I'm using a different definition, then please just give yours. You don't need to add a whole story. I stopped reading it after the first line. |

Here in Chicago we don't have that. Maybe a platform on the Lake St. side of the Loop might have a tunnel view. No the launch barges aren't far north enough for that. Now Roosevelt on the Orange/Green might get the widest view...but still too many buildings in the way. So its still amazing to me, because I've never experienced that and didn't think it could be possible.But the point is why do you feel the need to comment on what amazes me. And that's still my point. I've seen you argue about nothing with others on this forum and could never understand the WHY of it. Now its personal and I still don't understand the NEED. You posted the guy's pictures weren't sharp. I didn't say a thing about his picture quality so I see no need for your comment. Finish the story...its a good punch line. David Harrison |

I commented so that you know that while you thought it was something amazing, it isn't, because it is commonplace.You said "Sharp pictures." I said "most of his photos weren't exactly sharp." Where exactly is the change of definition? |

Without disagreement, he wouldn't have much of a conversation with anyone..... |

The fact that the fireworks are located directly behind and not far above the line of the headlights of oncoming trains makes it a poor photo location, IMHO. You would need to make very good use of the manual controls of a camera to get properly exposed shots there. |

I still fail to see why you take it upon yourself to define how I should feel. I am amazed, I am still amazed that people watch fireworks from an el platform and get a very good view of it. I don't care how commonplace it is...its amazing to me and will always be amazing to me because I never knew of it.You certainly have every right to be amazed after I've told you that you shouldn't be. I won't stop you. I'd guess either "having the effect of or involving a sudden brilliant display of light" or "clear in outline or detail". I assumed you meant the latter. But if you meant the former, then wouldn't all photos of fireworks be "sharp", thus making your describing them as such redundant? |

It is not about the topic of discussion.It's unfortunate that you are acting this way. All I can say is that many of his photos were NOT sharp, contrary to what you posted. If you want to try again, be my guest. But as it stands, you made a nonsensical statement. |
