Midnight Train

[Richard Cabesa]

Well not really midnight but here are a couple of shots of the Amtrak tonight. Suggestions are always welcome, in fact wanted. I'm trying to relearn things long forgotten.

kinda crazy but just having fun. I love train shots... big, impressive pieces of machinery. I shot lots of them in Sacto when I lived there.

Not so much..... But I like the one with the lights so much that my view is tainted.

Nope, I like the shot better with the lights in it.

Nice shots!

I especially like the top one. Here's a rough draft of a different cropping (and slightly desaturated and slightly rotated)...
