Description
This picture is included in :ex-po-zure: 's AP101.I am twice in the best of... (once in 2007, once in 2008)
I would like to explain this picture :
1. Taken outdoors
2. Cloudy but no wind
3. Time of Day : around 3 pm
4. equipment used : Tripod, Canon 300d rebel xt, Canon 17-55/2,8 EF-S IS USM, Hama UV-filter
5. Camera settings : P, F Number: F/10.0
Focal Length: 18 mm
ISO Speed: 100
I shot this picture in RAW and took 3 different expozures : -2/0/+2.
6. post production : i developed the Raw images with Photomatix. I then put the 3 images on top of each other with the HDR function in Photomatix.
Finally i put a border on it with PSP XI (black, white, Black).
I guess the post production took about 15 minutes.

Very beautiful but there is also something ominous about it. Makes me think of Chernobyl for some reason.

Beautiful, very forboding. Though it looks like it could do with a bit of sharpening, in places it looks decidely soft.

I put my camera ON the track, took three pictures with a different expozure (-1/0/+1), stitched them together with a programme called Photomatic (you can use also Photoshop or the new version of Paint Shop Pro (XI)

Very cool! Are the rails actually painted yellow?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yep, they are actually yellow. Don't know if it there is a reason, if there are any train buffs out there who know why it would be like that, i'd be happy to find out

If I remember I'll ask my dad, he's a retired engineer from Canadian Pacific Railway. He's got plenty of train facts stored away.

Love the color of the rail, I'd say watch for trains but this track doesn't seem like it gets much use.

I like the textures and colours, the rusty tracks reflected in the autumn trees, the dramatic sky and the concept / title.
