A train on wheels - 10-13-2011, 10:17 AM

Critique: NC:

While driving by Minute Maid Park, I noticed that the old Locomotive out front was actually in the process of being moved/rearranged. I always wanted to get a clean shot without that annoying fence around it, but with so many people around, I couldn't get close to it.

Obviously, I couldn't get in there during the day, so I came back at night.

All comments are welcome, but also remember, these photos haven't been touched in post.

Thanks for looking.

#1 has some interesting yellows going on which makes me think of Sepia. Wonder how it would look with that treatment. Nice set, and I love that #2 looks like your typical train, until #3 when you realize it's up on a truck.

Thanks, auddii.
This illustrates the issues I mentioned in another thread about dealing with shooting outdoors at night. I tried different WB settings, but they looked even worse. :(
