61/365 - Trains & Tracks

My 365 friend Misty inspired me to take some train pictures. I loved what she did with a railroad crossing photo, so I set out to see what I could find. I was amazed at how many cool things I saw when I took the time to look vs. just passing by like I normally do.

Fun and beautiful collage!! Love the processing on these!! I was inspired by Misty's post as well and this just adds to that inspiration! Colors are so vivid and pretty.

You are just too sweet with your comments ;). By the looks of your photos, you do a wonderful job of lighting, color, etc...! This 365 project is so neat in that we gain inspiration from each other! You had asked me for some pointers on getting the red out of my photos when I was shooting vivid. I would adjust my WB, temp and exposure in ACR. Then I would do a test on the skin for colors and work with the curves. It would take a lot of tweeking! I usually always had a very high magenta. I left editing frustrated. So I am enjoying a much more relaxing editing process now that I switched to shooting neutral. Thank you for the info you gave me at that time! Hope that info helps you a bit ;)

My goodness, I love this collage! Every image tells a story and it's just so beautiful! I'll have to show it to my uncle who works on the trains in Cibolo!! ;)

You did a beautiful job! I'm still trying to find some actual train tracks around here. We only have trolley tracks. I love all your pics. Very creative.

I love the perspective that you shot the RR crossing from. The processing works really nicely in that image as well!
