    What an excellent composition! I love railroads and railroad tracks, but it seems to be so difficult to get a new take on such an old subject. Your use of depth, viewpoint and the people in the scene, even the choice to keep it in color and not convert to B&W really makes this one stand out. Wonderful piece of artwork, congrats!

    You nailed this one! I think the color, composition and 'concept' are dead on. Great image! The only thing that has me wondering though, how did you manage to avoid any "keystoning" type distortion? From the camera angle it appears you shot from, I would have expected to see the building lines all converging at the top of the frame.Your appearance of a totally flat field with this building really makes this image work.

    Tom - Thank you for you candid comments. Actually, I thought it made for a rather nice graphic...abstract..if you like, with the look of "old warehouse" district. I wasn't really too sure about it myself though, other than maybe the composition, so your opinion is appreciated.

    Becky, Adam -

     

    Thank you kindly for your encouraging remarks! I like this photo too, I sincerely appreciate the comments and now I'm glad I posted it. (I'm probably not s'pose to talk like this on the forum, but I'm flattered and can't help it!)

  1. This was taken during a working trip to Turkey in 2004. It's the first

    in a series of photos taken without any 'automation' or elaborate

    lenses. I had recently sold off all of my camera equipment, reserving

    only an older Nikon FE2 and a 50mm1.4 lens. I've recently picked up

    the camera again and I'm excited about getting back to making pictures

    using only the basics - no digital, no extensive lens collection, etc.

    I think I found a little 'purity' in losing the high-tech gear and

    getting the cameras out of the way of the pictures. All comments -

    good and bad - are welcome.
