Post a Photo

I started out with a train pic, so here are a few more. I love the size and power of these machines and would love to tour the country photographing them for a while. As you can tell, they are edited to emphasize their grittiness.

These remind me of growing up!!! My dad was big into trains and especially model trains. I remember our basement and the huge setup he had down there. All laid out on two ping pong tables pushed together. Towns, mountains, forests with multiple trains running at the same time. It was sooo amazing the time he put into it!!❤️
Seeing your train pictures is bringing back memories.

@Tsuga802 Great colors in these pics. Very nice compositions and use of negative space. I bet there is a ton of fantastic scenery in the deserts. I would love to shoot there.

Do you use any editing software? I ask because in the second picture, which is beautiful, there is some nice detail in the land but the brightness of the sky causes it to be too dark. If you do have something, you might want to try brightening the shadows. Hope you don't mind but I did a little editing with what I have. I also used AI Remove in Photoshop to remove the green in the sky.

I'm glad they brought back memories. Hopefully good ones. Thank you for the comment.
 
I know, you're a good guy x

I'm a rank amateur though, still learning the basics of framing etc and getting it wrong quite a bit
You have to start somewhere. I can't begin to tell you how much I got wrong, and still do. The best part is that, even after doing this for over 30 years, when I go out and shoot, I still try to learn something. I am always trying things.

I've sort of temporarily inherited some really quality (if oldish) equipment recently, but I can't get my head around all the lenses. I guess take them all out and trial and error is best?
