Pretty nice. The angles work really well here.

King said 561 days ago:

This is dramatic and enjoyable. Looks like a fun place to stand when the express runs through. Was this shot at high altitude? High marks.

lbimaging said 561 days ago:

Awesome!

eduardo said 561 days ago:

do we have to decide if rail or bridge is more important? or sky

owen-b said 561 days ago:

Well that's the beauty of photography, isn't it? You can decide whatever you like is more important! :)

Excellent.

Ana said 561 days ago:

this is taken from a bridge, yes? I really like how it looks. nice shot.

King said 561 days ago:

owen-b...so was this taken at high altitude? Do you think I ask questions just for the fun of it? Inquiring minds need to know! :>)

I'm asking because the contrast in the sky and clouds is pretty typical of shooting at higher altitudes with film...I don't know about digital.

owen-b said 561 days ago:

Hi King - nope, wasn't taken at high altitude. It's just a rail bridge over the tracks between Barnes and Putney railway stations in London. The contrast is just a factor of the B&W conversion process I used, and the clouds are maybe being skewed into something you recognise by the 10-20mm lens I used?

Cheers, folks! :)

owen-b,
You mean the Canon 10-22, made famous by Vernon Trent? Cool. I don't own a digital camera yet, but on my shopping list is the Canon XTi (otherwise known as the 400D) and your lens...well, the same model, anyway.

owen-b said 561 days ago:

King - nope, I mean the Sigma 10-20mm, made famous by me ;)

(PS it's on my Nikon D70)

King said 561 days ago:

Not a shabby combination, in any case. :>)
