Glad to see your are enjoying the D70.. There is only one thing that I would with my limited 2 cents mention and thats the bright light source in the top right corner. I am visualy more drawn to that then the reflection off of the rails and their vanishing point. Any chance you took a shot further down the rails with the light obscured by the tree line?

cheers.

I agree with Paul. The light source is overpowering the composition. I do like the angle and overall comp. It's just that light is too strong. Is it the sun coming in under the clouds?

As agreed, the light is a tad strong, yet still the composition and colors (minus the lighting) is very nice. I love the tracks as they kind of fade into the horizon, and I love the radio tower on the left. Great shot, just a tad distracting with the light,

Paul S, yes, I am enjoying this camera quite a bit. I did not pay much attention to the light when I set this shot up (very quickly). I took a verticle zoomed in some, I might post it on this thread later. Thanks for your'e comments.
JK_Photo, thats a light shining on the parking lot at the factory where I work. The pine trees were planted there to hide it from the road. thank you for looking and commenting.
jar_e, glad you like it. thank you.
A large full res image looks almost like a projected slide. I am impressed with the quality of camera and lens(d70, 18-70). Mark.

I would agree that the light might be a bit overpowering, but it also provides the image with enough mood and effect to where it justifies itss being there. I like the shot, and the exposure here was right on to create this great feel with enough being visible even in the shadowed areas. The crop, almost panoramic, suits this well too.

Dear Mark,

A very nice composition. I happen to like vanishing point photos, they give a sense of infinity and distance. I would however, say that the light is annoying. I know that has been said already, but I think it is affecting the outcome of your picture. The right hand portion is very bright, while the left hand portion is took dark to make out enough detail. Maybe you could have moved forward or backward a bit in order to cut down on the light. And I would recommend trying manual on this one. You might get better results. Keep up the good work.

Gary, so glad you replied to this post! I love you're work! Question, where do you find the time to do so much, and you use film? Okay thats 2,and I have more. The light is too strong, but I like what it does to the tree just to it's left. I was going to post a verticle, but it doesent work as well as this one. there was an over all orange cast before I used auto levels. Ive played with cropping it and i'll post somthing that i will try soon on film.thanks agiain, Mark


Dzerzhinski46, the scene was not meterable so it was manual, a guesstimate from expirience. 30sec @ f11, iso 100-200 seems to stick in my head for night exposures. I chose f 8 because it is supposed to be the best aperture for this lens. Of course this is a digital camera, so I did get to look at the display. I can't tell much by looking at it but the exposure looked good to me. thank you for looking and commenting. BTW, HAPPY belated BIRTHDAY! Great shot of your'e dad!
Now i'll post the crop i have in mind for next time.




I wantedto show it larger so you had to scroll around, but i' m glad I finaly got it to upload.
Mark.
