Waiting for the Train to Depart by taffy

Waiting for the Train to Depart

I am cleaning up my hard drive from 2014 as part of an ongoing effort to consolidate photos. I spent a big part of the day distracted by photos from a work/play trip to Australia where I really could see the difference 2.5 years has made in my processing skills. I didn't know what to do with this image 3 years ago but today, I immediately knew why I had taken it -- I just didn't know it back then!
I love it! I know what you mean about a sobering trip into the past...but I am sure you also uncovered a lot of gems like this!

Fantastic picture and perspective.

Great POV I like how you've lined the rails up with the edges of the frame :)

Your processing skills may have improved Taffy but from this shot we can see you have always had a great eye for an image! Wonderful leading line! Great image which is perfect for the b&w theme! Fav!

Great POV and dof! Fav

Fabulous, love the perspective. Always good to go back over old photos with new eyes.
February 20th, 2017  
Retrospect is a wonderful gift - often wish I had it NOW! Nice perspective

I missed you when you had your meet up with Rachel and Andrew in BrisVegas Taffy. About time you made a return visit
February 20th, 2017  
Amazing pov. Did you lie down between the rails? Fav.
February 20th, 2017  
Love the pov :)
February 20th, 2017  
Very good perspective!
February 20th, 2017  
Yes a great re-look at what you've got. Great dof and perspective.
February 20th, 2017  
Excellent. Love your perspective and focus.
February 20th, 2017  
Yes it is very cool. I look at many of my photos from years ago and some I was so proud of I think are horrible and then there are potential gems that I just didn't recognize. This is one of your gems

Super shot, great pov - fav!

Love the pov!
February 20th, 2017  
Such a great shot - the angle, the close focus and the faraway scene all add to the atmosphere.
February 20th, 2017  
@myhrhelper Exactly what I'm going through. Some I had marked with 5 stars that I actually would delete today!

February 20th, 2017  
Wonderful pov and Dof.

Awesome perspective and very cool how you can see people on the station.
February 20th, 2017  
Great perspective and leading lines.

Great perspective and leading lines
February 20th, 2017  
Great perspective
February 20th, 2017  
Super leading lines, perspective, textures
February 20th, 2017  
Love the low POV!!
February 20th, 2017  
Love your pov and how we are drawn into the shot.
February 20th, 2017  
Great perspective and DoF, brilliant use of leading lines too
February 20th, 2017  
It is quite a process looking back, seeing what you didn't yet know consciously but somehow did. Nice edit to bring the lines and textures out

Love the pov and dof.................great in b&w!

@cjphoto That was originally what drew me to the shot -- the combination of the people and train and the long empty track. Thanks as always for your visits/comments!
February 21st, 2017  
Great perspective- did you lay down on the tracks? I need to go through old photos but just don't have the time!
February 21st, 2017  
@loweygrace Haha!! I don't remember, but I'm pretty confident I didn't lie down on that -- maybe kneeled or put the camera low and used Live View? Too hard to get up, even a few years ago!
February 21st, 2017  
Awesome shot... fav
February 21st, 2017  
Just love that low pov...but watch for trains.
February 21st, 2017  
Beautiful composition and all the more stunning in B&W Fav
February 21st, 2017  
Love the commentary, I'd wager a guess that those observations apply to many of us here on 365. I can certainly put up my hand to the same conclusions. I like the shot anyway, must've been a very quiet piece of line to be able to shoot from that pov. And with your eye you captured a whole story in one shot. Adelaide?
February 21st, 2017  
What a great shot. I am not the photographer you are but have kept a lot of my old photos too and hope to play with some, someday as well. Love this in B&W. FAV
February 21st, 2017  
Neat pov
February 21st, 2017  
Great lines!
February 21st, 2017  
Fantastic! fav!
