Wow! NICE composition! I can't decide which I like more. The WD-40 speaks volumes and the trestle and tracks into the distance... just wow.More! -------------------- No left turn unstoned.

Good job Xan!I really like the sepia tone on the trestle bolt and the WD-40 -------------------- “I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.” “Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.” --Dr. Stephen Hawking.

It can be done in photoshop GF.It's not all the difficult really. It takes fiddling to get right though. -------------------- “I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.” “Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.” --Dr. Stephen Hawking.

How do you get the tints of the picture like that. (I have no grasp of art, in fact I'm terrible. But I know what looks good to me I just don't know how to describe it.) Like that first group of pictures, the one that's a view of the train tracks(with the indigo tint). That picture is amazing, I mean, something I'd like to hang on my wall. Looking at it just gets you thinking. Very nice stuff man. [ 09-20-2004: Message edited by: GFKiller ]
GFK, thanks a bunch for the nice words! For all of these I shot them in black and white but photoshop can sepia tint photos, so for the sepia photos here I tinted them in photoshop. Although my camera has a sepia mode. I will usually correct the brightness and contrast a little in photoshop, but sometimes I won't have to if I get a good result straight out of the camera. For the train tracks I kind of wanted to mimic a Infrared Filter, which basically turns most things to a weird white color when you use one. So I took the picture in black and white and just played with the curves some. I really like to shoot rusty, or textured things because they always seem to give the best visual texture. So a lot of my stuff is rusted, dirty, or just old. To me, a filter is a filter regardless if its attacthed to the camera or its done with software. Although I like to work with physical stuff and I'd kill for a real IR filter. Again, glad you like them, it means something to me to get positive response from you guys.
