Skywatch Friday – Go Train Go

Posted on May 20, 2010 by The Lazy Photographer

Here’s my entry for this week’s Skywatch Friday. I took this photo last weekend thinking the sky really wasn’t very interesting, but low and behold once I did a bit of post processing I think it got a lot more interesting. Hope you like it.

    Beautiful colour tones in the sky highlighting the approaching train! The train becomes a very dramatic feature i n the photo!

    Oh, I do like it very much, Dave!! Terrific composition and such brooding, grumpy skies! Perfect backdrop for the train — and I love trains! Fabulous capture! Hope you have a great weekend!

      “Grumpy skies,” I like that. Thanks you Sylvia, and thanks for popping by my blog. I liked that photo on your blog of the global warming. Very cute.

      By the way, I am unable to comment on blogger.com blogs, unfortunately, since when I try I get an “openID error” message. Just in case anyone’s wondering why I don’t comment back on their blog. I’m hoping wordpress will fix it shortly.

    You’re really working the clouds in your favor lately! This gives me a post-apocalyptic feeling and one of the few working trains is running down the tracks.

    I think it’s outstanding! And I love pictures of trains too.

    I do love how much detail you can pull out of the sky in post process 🙂 This is super cloudalicious 🙂

      Thanks Amber. Coming from you that’s a real compliment. Your post processing skills put mine to shame. 😉

      I’m loving “super cloudalicious,” by the way. That would make a good name for a blog.

    Very interesting shot. It really grabs me and makes me want to follow that train or go into the city and walk around with those awesome clouds hovering above.
