Track Bed

B&w transition of a track bed, that i captured today in the early

morning.

All comments welcome.

Great capture Lutz!

Black and white composition really creates drama in this shot, especially with the lighting. I love the sky and the way the tracks extend into infinite.

Really good job overall I really like this.

Wishing you all the best,

Stan.

Thx for your encouraging words, Stan. When it comes to strong lines, probable nothing is better than railroad tracks... ;-)

Here i also worked relatively long on the b&w transition, so that the distribution of the tonal definition is effective. Especially the sky was very bright, compared to the ground. So a Nikefex-Filter was relatively helpful. (Gradient neutral sky filter.) I made several shots of the location, but found, that this one was the most successful one.

Cheers - Lutz

Excellent composition, Lutz ... tones & light are perfect in my opinion. Best regards.

Thx, Ricardo. I am glad, that you like this little composition. Probable not very spectacular, but with some strong lines and good depth. ;-)

Cheers - Lutz

The rail is shown here as strong (caused by the close-up and camera position. Rail always provide a nice lead in line.
