Train To Nowhere....

Skippy

Hi folks,

I've taken photos of this old train before,
I like this one, even with the distortion caused by using a wide angle lens.
The train has so much character, though it sits alone, rusting away on the track.

Hand held shot, Canon 20D + Canon 10-22mm Lens.

Enjoy........ Skippy

Hi Nik..... It's not going anywhere in a hurry that's for sure
But lots of people like to explore it .... Skippy

It's a real field of exploration that train,
the problem is you don't get a good clear shot at it,
because of where it is, and the vegetation around it.

Thanks for looking .... Skippy

Love the subject matter in this shot. I'd be interested to see it in some later light--seems like you might even be able to get a cool, eery shot with a moody sky.

Cool train, Skippy. Definitely works for me. I think sometimes you have to embrace the distortion. I've been thinking about getting one of those 10-22s.

Dramatic and effective. Well done.
