ghost train (stuff of nightmares II)

i've spent a good part of the week chasing this... it isn't quite what i had in my head, but it is for the "panic" theme and i am running out of time...

four train shots at different stages of coming in the station layered in photoshop, converted to black and white in nik silver efex and tones added in lightroom...

for me, panic is rarely the first stage when confronted with a problem... it's when all my problem-solving solutions turn on me and what first appears as a light at the end of the tunnel turns into that relentless oncoming train...

thanks all for the comments and favs on my two shots from yesterday... have to say, i'm rather stunned by the reaction to my green shot... definitely out of my comfort zone, that one is!

Has an underground abandoned moment feel. Well done.

[Paul "Snapchap" Everest]

Smashing! Love it. I like the ghostly feel. Thanks for the link too - I am always interested in other people's choice of music. This band reminds me a little bit of Paramore. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEk-ZQ7Ptgo

[Gail]

Fantastic feel to this image!

[Taffy]

Wow....great commentary -- the phrase "light at the end ... oncoming train" is one of those quotables that captures the feeling perfectly! As does your image. Fav.

[Simply Amanda]

Love the feel here. Very cool, my friend!

[Lois Webb]

Love it

[Suse♡]

This has the same mood than the nightmare I used to see everytime I had fever, dramatic shot!

[Shanne]

great feeling of panic in this - cool processing

[Alison Tomlin]

Very disorienting. Great theme entry.

[Carly]

[Kerri]

Cool shot

[Brigette]

As taffy said you have summed up that feeling of panic perfectly. i am in awe of your processing skills!! and love the composition. Might not have been what you had in your head... but this is great

[Spanner]

Nice shot. This is excellent for the theme.

[Jocasta]

[Keith Porteous]

[Katia]

@steampowered hah! i often wonder whether anyone goes to the youtube link ;p one day i'll have to find a reason to use this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4mwv3ACk3M (although i really don't know much about angelspit - this just happens to be on a compilation CD my husband made for the car)

[Penny Price]

Definitely plenty of motion going on there, but just the right amount.

[April Milani]

Fantastic job. I flop every time I try these shots. Fav

[john]

This just works.

[Sharyn's Shots シ]

Not sure why you call your work a craptastic mess. You have a great eye for an image and are a wonder with a processing tool.
This is fantastic.

[petaqui]

Nice action image

[Katie]

This is very cool! Definitely a sense of movement and vertigo and uncomfortabilitiness.

[Rachel Withey]

Fantastic feeling of panic in this

[Bill Fenske]

Very ghostly feel to it. Viewed large and fav'd.

[Call me Joe]

♥♥♥!!!:)

[Paul Myers]

Great shot for the theme this week.

[Paul "Snapchap" Everest]

@northy Thanks for the link. I have never heard of Angelspit before and it looks and sounds like great fun!

[Adam]

Excellent image and wonderfully processed. You set the mood perfectly.

[Lisa Pouncy]

Well interpreted. I've been wracking my brains for something to enter this week to no avail xx

[Jani M]

Fav. Love this image. It doesn't look like four shots, more like motion blur + reflections from another train window. Also thanks for the link, I think I just fell in love with the vocalist :-D

[Allison]

Wonderful image.....so cool.....I like this a lot

[Janna Dawn Goldrup]

This would make an awesome poster for a scary/action film.

[MaryBeth Dailey]

Congrats on being in the finalist group for theme panic! You have my vote!

[MaryBeth Dailey]

Oh, I forgot to fav this when I was here before. Fav !

[Krista Marson]
