Chugging Along

Very little time for photos today. This was captured at the UIC Medical Center stop of the L, from a parking strip under the tracks. Taken with my iPhone and processed in Silver Efex to bring out the textures and grit. Feels at the moment like I am also just chugging along...too much to do and not enough time to do it in.
Wow!That pov is amazing!I can almost hear the train and feel the rush of wind.The black and white processing is perfect.

Great pov, think ee all go through 'chugging' phases, it will pass:)

Love the texture brought out by the processing. Are you happy with Silver Efex? I've been thinking about getting it

That looks like a pencil drawing, very nice.

@salza I'm really happy with it. It has a lot of possibilities but is easy to use even at it's most basic level.

cool pov, love the grungy look

It came out great! Nice looking b&w - I'm guessing when you say "SIlver" you're referring to Nik's software, right?
October 16th, 2013  
@mikegifford Thanks Mike! Yes -- Nik's suite of software is my go-to for most things. I like silver a lot.

Really great pov and edit Taffy.

What a terrific composition! In the last minute, I've just read abut Silver EFX Pro...must check that out as I like what it does!
October 17th, 2013  
This shot is what I think of when I think of Chicago. I really like the way you edited it. We all know what you're going through- but I think you've found a good balance in this shot. It's a good shot taken on the run and tweaked a bit in processing. Sometimes that's what you have to do!
October 18th, 2013  
@olivetreeann Thanks so much Ann! It's tough to keep up some weeks, I'm finding. This is one of them!
October 18th, 2013  
love your pov - excellent shot and love the grunginess you've given it in the processing
October 18th, 2013  
@jaynspain Thanks Jayn! I appreciate your positive comment on the processing.
