For the camera settings challenge... straight from the camera to you... I think I would prefer to moody this up some in nik... this one is monochrome, +5 sharpness, +2 contrast with a blue toner...
Wonderful. I love how moody this is with just the one person.
I really don't know how to do this. Guess I'm going to be forced to read instructions. And, seriously, I don't do that very well. I am more of a hands on learner. I am going to try and read up on Photoshop this winter.
Such an industrial looking train. Obviously designed for the commuting lumpen proletariat. No bells or whistles...well you know what I mean, it is a train after all. Toot toot.
@peterdegraaff heh heh... well, definitely not posh! the photo in my other album is of one of the newer trains... it looks real swish - altho' not posh either... but it's open from end to end and i'm dying to get a photo from inside... but i need to be on one when it isn't too crowded or the photo will be meaningless... no luck so far!
@northy Just posted some other panning shots on Flickr for your amusement. With your Tale I like the Dickensian reference. Might have to head over to the station near work for some shots and even catch train to work, but it takes 2 hours, though 40 mins of trip is along the coast and through rainforest.
Great SOOC...love the tone! I especially like the capture of the person you can see through the window riding the train....or is that a reflection of the lady on the deck? Perfectly situated either way!
It's amazing the effects you can get in-camera. Honestly don't think I have ever posted a SOOC shot on this site, must have a look and see what I can do
the more I look at this, the more I love it. the blue tone works so well with this shot. love the contrast, love the lone person (and I'm pretty sure it is her reflection in the window on the train), love the focal point, the lines.... its an overall great shot.
Another great train short. I like the near emptiness of it, the open doors, and of course the lines that lead my eye through the picture. I guess you had your reasons for the blue (the shot could be seen to have a blue mood) but I find it a distraction. Its a great shot and the blue almost trivialises it for me.
Nice, but I like your Part 1 much better. More motion, more expectation there. Here the train has arrived and is stationary, and a sole person who appears to have disengaged from the train. I am not a fan of extensive blue tones, but it works here for the "let down" of the previous activity of the arrival? Or perhaps I am reaching too far.
