My favourite location on the recent urbex weekend was definitely an old train yard, and I’m going to be putting a few images from this place up this week. There were a lot of old trains there in various states of decay and it was good fun working my way down the line taking a look at each one. It was at this location I decided I had to buy a fisheye lens, so a return trip now that I have one would be a very good thing to do, especially as I don’t feel I did justice to the location and the subjects in my initial visit. As the last stop of our tour I was pretty tired and pleased that this location was so relaxed; I really didn’t have my groove on when it came to taking the shots though, so I walked away with much less than I wanted to from here.
The hardest part of the location was actually shooting around the other 7 people who were there, all attempting to get shots off without everyone else in them. It also wasn’t the greatest weather, but the carriages offered a suitable place to hide out from the passing rain when it did come.
Man, that car is eat up! Nice shot!
Masterful, Michael, you really know how to squeeze out the best of every pixel.
nice processing. Know what you mean about large groups – I’ve done 7 or 9 around WP a couple of years ago and it was a right mare – good craic, but hard work queueing up for the shot. I try to keep it to a max of four nowadays.
Very interesting processing, Mike. I love the muted colors and all the texture. Well done!
