Progression
I took this shot of the railway behind the Rail Depot. The effect is a progressive expression from B&W photography towards color photography.

Excellent!...lovely treatment….it works well.
LocustFurnace replied
Thanks Phil.
Couldn’t decide if I preferred the color version or the B&W one, so I mixed them into one!

Still speechless over this one, baby. I couldn’t decide between the colour shot or the sepia version, either. The way you’ve intermingled them is fabulous!!
Love my baby. So creative. :*
LocustFurnace replied

this is outstanding!!!!!
Barbara Brown
Great depth of field and treatment!
LocustFurnace replied
Thank you. It was a compromise photo. Couldn’t decide which I preferred – color of B&W!
Countrygirl
Thats REALLY cool. i love the color in this
LocustFurnace replied
Thank you.
Sometimes I like both, the desaturated and the colorized versions. But I don’t want to submit 2 of the same subject. So this was a nice compromise.
Michael Rucci
the railroad tracks take us through the B/W Color change perfectly

LocustFurnace replied
Thanks Michael.
Yes it does. I’d imagine it would make an interesting train ride if such where possible.

Great angle and treatment!
LocustFurnace replied
Thank you very much!
Ralph Olsson
You have to stop this, i can’t keep changing my mind!!!! Phew! Just a ripper shot and work mate…
LocustFurnace replied
I know. It is a tough call. I could do a stereograph I guess. Left side being color and right side sepia.
Ralph Olsson
Hey, there’s an idea…meets everyone’s needs then:)

Absolutely amazing…a work of art! I love your use of selective coloring in this shot, the blending of the black and white gradually into the color. Really sets a mood. This is proudly featured in the Selective Coloring Group.
LocustFurnace replied
Thank you very much!
This is a result of being unable to decide on which I liked better, a colorized version or a B&W/sepia version. So I thought why not use both, and use the tracks to pull the viewer further, deeper into the shot. Plus to express my own personal enjoyment of first having learned B&W photography, and today its far easier to do color than it was before.
cheerishables
Yes, keeping the tracks black and white is really effective in leading the eye into the photo into the colorful background… also the black and white soft framing fo the clouds, surrounding the intense blue and white clouds is really quite interesting and unique… and makes you want to stare. It’s gorgeous!

such sweet color left like a wish awaiting a new moment ;)

Tori Buck
This is fab!! You should submit this into some groups, some prizes are that they buy your winning card. I would submit this to all the Railroad or Rustic groups. A fav for sure.
LocustFurnace replied
Thank you Tori!
I think it used to be in those groups, but likely was removed so more works could be added once the limits were reached : )

Excellent treatment on this classic image of the receding train lines!
I like the selective central colour, and the b&w at the edge, is effective.

LocustFurnace replied
oh yea? That’s cool. I have seen some train bridges that here as high as the one they run across. Maybe even higher. I’ve photographed the portage bridge in NY which was very high.

Khollen Orion ...
wow
LocustFurnace replied
Thanks!
Khollen Orion ...
this image seriously left me speechless dude, its just awesome.
Looks liek it should be an album cover for a metal band :)
LocustFurnace replied
Thanks alot!
This shot was more of an after thought. As I was really wanting to just shot the Depot.
Once I processed it, couldn’t decided if I liked the color version or the B&W version. So simple solution was to use both.
Khollen Orion ...
and it looks totally awesome
i’ve noticed that a lot of my shots seem to turn into something else once i start to process them, something else always catches my eye, and changes teh whole direction and meaning of the image, but its never let me down yet :)
