Afternoon all,

last sunday's great run against the train was on and one of my mates entered the 13km course to race Puffing Billy to Emerald.

in short i did not see him but i was there to take a couple of photos of the event.





i think i will head back and re-shoot the train image as i am not entierly happy with it.

I like the first one, actually - the effect of the steam and the bridge places the train apart from the remainder of the image, which is more modern. It's like an inadvertent selective desaturation - without being one!

I actually like both, the only thing that might help the first one is a little bit of dodging to darken up the steam, at the moment it is a bit blown out. I still like the shot however.

the second one I just like the feel.

I like both.

i prefer the 2nd. the title should be Running Under a Train!

nice work

thanks for the feedback,

Tbg,

what do you mean by dodging ?

i presume it's something like darkening the smoke plume

I'm talking about the dodge and burn tool in Photoshop, It just lets you do selective darkening.

ahh Ok, i'll check it out, i cannot say i have ever used it.

That's a great spot for getting train pics. Only 5 mins from home for me so we really enjoy that actual spot. Have spent a few weekends there when nothing else is on.

I like both but prefer the first. It tells a story and tells it well.

Great shots. Like the first better, but both have good contrast and colour
