Restoration No. 45

Interested in any feedback on lighting and composition. Thanks!

Nice work. Great B&W tones. Lighting is good.

Very interesting, estethicly good acomplished... great angle, alight and contrast...

 

great!

This is heavily weighted on the dark end but it suits the subject. I think the train would stand out better without the long bright metallic object on the wall behind it.

That's a flourescent light bank on the back wall. Very nice image. I, too, agree that the darkness suits the subject. Very nice.

Thanks for the comments, really appreciated. At the time I did contemplate a lower camera angle to hide (most of) the light bank, but wasn't happy with the barrel distortion I was starting to pick up at 17mm. I guess I could try to take it out along with some of the clutter in PS to further isolate the engine...but in reality it's an active shop and that, to me, has an aesthetic of its own. Thanks again for looking, Mark

Nice job ! ........ I love window light - for just the reasons you see here. Glad to see you finally getting around to cleaning out your garage too ... !

LOL...If only I had a garage like this! Thanks Ken!

I have to say that I am not really a train man but not only does this train look great, it is also an excellent photo. And it particularly works well in Black and White. Well done.

you have done a fine job on this and it just looks fantastic!
