Went back to my favorite train depot to see what new trains were there to shoot. This old passanger car looked like it was waiting for passengers to take a ride. Still had old advertising posters hanging on the front and back walls.

    Shuch sharp focus all the way back. I’m suprised it was shot at F8. Perfect perspective Eric.

  • ericseyes replied

    Thanks and with the standard 18-55 lens, which I normally don’t have much luck with.

    Great work Eric – very well presented

  • ericseyes replied

    Thanks Bev, I was thrilled to stumble on to it as most of the cars are locked so you can’t get in them.
