Richard Moore Posted August 2, 2012 Report Posted August 2, 2012 Is it OK if I prefer the first one? It's simpler and leaves more to the imagination.
hausdok Posted August 2, 2012 Report Posted August 2, 2012 I'm thinking that it's time for Mike to start setting up a vendor's booth at the association annual conventions and at other HI training events and start selling some of this art. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike
Terence McCann Posted August 2, 2012 Report Posted August 2, 2012 You're truly gifted Mike - you have an eye for photography. If you don't mind me asking (if you do it's OK) how did you bleach the boxcars?
Tom Raymond Posted August 2, 2012 Report Posted August 2, 2012 Is it OK to photograph rail yards in Chi Town? Around here it will net you trouble with the Homies-either the neighborhood thugs or Homeland Security, depending on the size and urbanity of the yard. My motives are entirely selfish. I think your art will suffer from incarceration.
kurt Posted August 2, 2012 Report Posted August 2, 2012 Is it OK if I prefer the first one? It's simpler and leaves more to the imagination. I also prefer the first one. It's a more striking composition. Chicago's weird. You can hang around some rail yards and never draw a fly, and in others you can bring down the rail dicks and a couple squad cars. I have no idea what the laws are, but it can get touchy if you put your foot onto RR property.
Mike Lamb Posted August 2, 2012 Author Report Posted August 2, 2012 Thanks for all your comments. I had to crawl down an overpass embankment and was trespassing to get these. There was a RR vehicle that drove past me. He didn't stop. The original is very dark so I had to lighten up everything except the sky. This makes things grainy but that's what you get with a point and shoot camera. I didn't have to bleach the boxcars. They were already a cream color. I did have to clarify the ones in front to create some sort of DOF.
