Taken in a place with no name (See more photos or videos here)

This is the final shot from my trip to and back from Nashville for my job interview. I took it standing next to my car on the fifth level of the parking garage at midway.

Looking out over the train-yard I thought there wasn't anything really interesting to shoot. Everything looked so static. But I took a shot anyhow and decided to tilt the camera slightly and framed the trains just inside the frame's border.

After, in post-processing, I decided the color version did, indeed, look a little flat. So I went with black and white, bumped up the contrast considerably, burned a few areas to emphasize the grittiness and grime on the trains , and in the end, I really liked what i saw.

Hope you enjoy it, too.

	blogrodent says: Thanks, flevia and Micropus_apus, for stopping by and granting awards! I also enjoy the geometry of it. The more I look at this photo, the more it grows on me. And the emptiness of the trains make them seem somehow more poignant. Thanks! Posted 8 months ago. ( permalink )
