Everything that you do, it was all yellow.

Paul Louis Villani

Everything that you do, it was all yellow.

Captured just past Anstey Station in Brunswick.
A composition of two images taken moments apart and during the course of post production chose to go with a selective color and monotone finish.
Merry Christmas and may you all have a safe and prosperous New Year! Peace and bear hugs! :D

    Nice composition, the view of the background through the speeding train really adds to the sense of motion – and gives it a ghostly feel as well.

  • Eyal Nahmias

    what a wonderful image. I love how you made a composite of 2 images to create a visual of a stationary and moving object which are basically the same. The selective coloring and the tonal range compliments the image in a very dramatic and beautiful way.

    Louise Cooke

    this has such a bizarre yet familiar feel to it…like one of those really hot days, where you can feel the stillness and oppression, then something moves breifly and is gone….and then back to hot empty oppression. Love the mood of this, it’s like a movie – awesome PLV!

  • Paul Louis Villani

    Paul Louis Vil...

    You are very kind and genrous with your comments Louise and they are always muchly appreciated! :D

  • Ian  James

    Ian James

    Great shot Paul I love the way you can see so much detail through the train….It looks like a ghost train. I assume you have made the shot of the train transparent and over layed it on to the shot of the background? If this was shot at night a similar effect could have been acheived with a single exposure. Cool processing as usual.

  • Paul Louis Villani

    Paul Louis Vil...

    Thank you very kindly Rosina, Marie and Ian (you are spot on mate, up to this point I have done a few night shots with trains and motion so I wanted to try and capture a similar theme during day light hours)! :D
