Dark Flight

As I approached this abandoned place on the train line in Toowoomba a flock of birds took flight from the roof. They circled it for for a few minutes, enough time for me to get this shot.
ISO 200, f13, 1/125 with nd4 grad.
Converted to three exposures for hdr.

    Great capture Bensound! And it looks cold, like Toowoomba too! Great HDR, fave! Whereabouts in Toowoomba is this? Is it a fair way out of town?

  • bensound replied

    Hi Vicki, no it’s not out of town at all, it’s just about 1k North from the main train staion along the line, just keep driving along the train line and you’ll find it !
