| A long exposure of a trainyard in Grand Forks, North Dakota on a cloudy winter night. Taken with digital, using the tungsten white balance. JPEG compression kind of hurts the sharpness... |

This is a good photograph. Good subject, well presented. The colors are good and the overall softness conveys a great feeling of cool stillness.
I also like the way you've carefully positioned your tripod and framing so that your access footprints cannot be seen. Smart.
Nice.
(Welcome to TE too.)

Very interesting picture, Brian, really nice colors, and excellent DOF (Depth of Field). I'd preferred to see it a bit bigger. WELCOME TO TE !!! and don't miss www.treklens.com
Very nicely done. So very crisp and very nice perspective back along the train. It all points to the silos. The lighting is great, too, with an eerie sky and the smooth snow covered ground that seems to defy any action from people and vehicles. And it's finally a shot from North Dakota! I had a few that weren't that great so I kept waiting for someone to put something up from here. And now we have a very nice first shot thanks to you. Great job.
Fantastic picture. The background's colors are lovely. They just add to the feeling of "coldness", as said above.
I believe you are a student at UND, no? I will be starting classes this summer, so it'll be an interesting place to photograph.
I'll be looking forward to more of your photos!

Poignant. A moment captured that is part of culture that many of us will never experience. Ordinary to you perhaps but a vital link to our industrial beginnings.
