Challenge: Trains & Railroads (Advanced Editing IV)
Camera: HP PhotoSmart R707
Location: Saratoga Wyoming
Date: Oct 21, 2006
Galleries: Nature, Transportation
Date Uploaded: Oct 22, 2006

 Our little town thrived on the logging industry for generations. 5 years ago they shut the mill down and about a month ago they started tearing out the railroad tracks and the last remaining Engine. This little bit is all that is left of generations of work.

Neat imaged, adjusted levels, saturation, dodged and burned, some sharpening and a very light softglow to lighten it up more.

A big more of the rail to see, and a bit more decisive shift of perspective would be nice. If it were not for the challenge topic, I would not know that this is a rail in the lower left.

I would really like to knock this photo down because it doesn't really show much rail or train but damn it it's a great photo (9).

Interesting. I didn't know anyone actually went in and removed tracks. Cool take on the challenge.

And now the roads are choked with cars. The story of Los Angeles, the story of the rail cuts in the 50s UK too....
