Photograph Information Photographer's Comments
Challenge: Duotones V (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-50D
Lens: Lensbaby Spark (dupe)
Date: Mar 30, 2013
Aperture: 5.6
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/200
Date Uploaded: Mar 30, 2013

 I shot this scene a few days before the challenge, and when the challenge was announced, I knew I had to return. Both times I shot it with the Lensbaby Spark. The focus point gives this stationary scene a sense of movement, which is really cool. Something that is not dynamic becomes so with just the characteristics of the lens.

This is the first photo I have used Nik Silver Efex on. I have had Topaz B&W Efex for a while, so I'm more comfortable with that program. To me, it seems like Topaz gives more control over the image, but that may be just because I have experience with it.

Either way, the end result is something I enjoy. The red/yellow coloring seems to go with the bricks/train well.
