Description
Sorry for using the same filters so much, it might be getting repetitive. Anyways, the piece definately implies movement, not to mention that these are railroad tracks after all. I think the filter on the sky is a bit too much, but overall it's not a bad looking piece of art. Hope you like it

Well everybody has their own opinion and I am no exception. I like the image. It really caught my eye. Something about it being tracks leading off into a distant unknown kind of says mysterious to me. And I think mysterious plays better in black and white. My 2 cents. Its a great pic though.

Perhaps, I dunno, some things look good in black and white, but I usually don't do it with my nature pics for some reason. I usually make my pics black and white when the colors aren't very attractive to begin with.

oh..this is a really interesting play with perspective. reminds me of all those hours spent practicing central perspective in arts and drawing classes, but with a new fun twist to it.
like it

it would be lovely to capture the train in motion. Don't you think so?

I do, in fact I just missed one about a minute too late. Unfortunately at this time I really sucked with the f stop and tbh, I didn't really figure it out until now lol. I feel like a moron, but eh, better I know now than later.

I like how it represents a long line to wherever. I am almost feeling like I can get everywhere following that track.

The sky isn't the best, but I really like the rest of it. I can feel the train comin'!!

I think for the feeling of this image, the filters are okay. I think it fits. And the angle is good, and the clarity is excellent.

I disagree. I feel tha the perspective (awesome) AND the filters worked perfectly. The clouds stand out really cool.

Perspective is nice, the filters are getting fairly annoying if you ask me, but then again, I never liked from the begining... lol
It would have been better if you had someone walking down the tracks or a train going and showing motion, but your 3200 of a second speed doesn't show movement, it stops it.
Bring the f/stop up insted of jacking up the shutter speed, also, if you ask me, the tree edges look a little sharp.

You don't need actual movement in a composition to imply movement, implying movement is just a matter of your eyes being led to a certain point in the piece. It probably is a little bit oversharpened, but eh, don't care that much because it isn't rediculously oversharpened.
I'm going to get a polarizer in the future so I won't have a lot of problems with overexposing the sky. It's a rather old photo anyways.

I understand that, but implying that movement though actuall movement would have helped this piece reach that extra mile if you know what I mean.
Polerizers are good, but you need to invest in a circular polerizer, and in a lens that doesn't focus by the ring at the end of the lens (where the front element is) cause the polerizer will spin and you won't get the right effect, I learned that the hard way with my 18-55mm and 55-200mm.

Also, if I'm going to be using the polarizer, it's most likely going to be for landscapes or some scene where no or little movement is going on; I'm usually not in a big rush to get the photo in a seconds notice you know?

Ah, I guess you have a different way of going about it.
for the things I shoot, there is no time to play with stuff, so I've gotta get it asap.

Ah ic, each to it's own I guess

Aren't all lenses like that where they focus ring is at the end though? And what does it matter if the polarizer is the same thing all the way around?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, for instance, my 50mm is a fixed lens, and it focuses right before where you place the filters, it has a seperate focus ring.
And a normal polerizer will make the whole scene underexposed by 2 stops, where as a circular one you can rotate to just make the sky underexposed.

Ok, then I'm probably gonna get a circular polarizer
