Crane

[Alfred Forns]

Went to the Railroad Museum in Miami today and got into the B&W mood, gave this crane a shot. Converted in LR tweaked in PS .. actually you did most of it in LR, good program for the conversion.

Comments welcomed and much appreciated

Its well seen Mr. Forns,
This is one strong composition...I like the black and white conversion, it has an old world charm to it...:cool:

Nice one Al, you must have been close with that lens - like the B&W / mechanical feel.

Is this a FLIGHT shot???
;)

[Alfred Forns]

... yes it is :)

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Is it related to the Whooping Crane. Long day at the office Al:D

[Alfred Forns]

.... good one Jackie .. it is a whooping of a crane :)

[Richard Waas]

Nice comp Al, But IMHO, the eye (hook) needs sharpening....

[kostas nianiopoulos]

good one AL , i hope u will post more of the Museum. well done .

[Alfred Forns]

Your right Richard ... thinking back I should have focused half way up the crane to extend the dof, then stopped down one more !!! Need to get back over there

... btw they have red ropes on all the outside trains to keep people off, not sure what we can do about it, as they are we can't do much with them !!!

Cool! You seldom see a flight shot of the elusive Steelhead Crane!! :D Love the dynamic range you captured and reproduced.
