Travel Town/Old Trains

[Tee Why]

This is a local Museum/park in Griffith Park in Los Angeles. They mainly have old trains and I got off early to shoot it in nice light.
1. Train Station.

1) I really love the drama of the first. the distinct lines, bold contrast, the shadows.. bravo!

2) absolutely adore the colour!

3) a wee bit too sunstreaked for my liking, but neat shot none-the-less

Hey thanks all.
I really like Travel Town b/c it's very close and allows for me to practice.
The lighting is actually very diverse as half the displays are under the cover of the station and shooting black trains can fool the meter. Most of the time I'm switching from Av to M and constantly changing shutter speed, aperturee, and ISO with almost every shot.

Generally I prefer to use Canon's DPP to process the RAW images but the lighting was so dynamic that I also processed them with Lightroom (which seems to handle more difficult lighting better) and ended up keeping all the Lightroom converted images.
