Rails,Bridges,Bricks and Buildings

 I had the first sunny day in a week but it was also 24 degrees F that day. So what, a little cold never hurt a Nikon or a boy born in Iowa.
I used my new semi-favorite of Neopan 400 and Xtol 1-1. I had loaded it the day before planning on using it at 1600 but the sun showed up so just dial back.. I headed down to the tracks and decided yo try and look at them with a different eye. 24mm eye.

That is a super series of shots, full of strong designs. Wonderful tonal values.

The best of your efforts, I do believe.

Bravo, Larry!

I was looking at the Customs House/ Museum shot, and thought I saw some flare, or light leakage.  But after studying the rest of the picture, I've deduced it to be reflections from windows across the street.  And then Les beat me to what I was going to say.  Good work, Larry.

Thank you both and it is a reflection off traffic on the side street... I think I am getting closer to ready for Prime time because of all of you here helping me and giving me tips.

P.S. Thank you Dad.

Larry - I echo what Les said.  I especially like Is it metal Art and the back lighting in Sun on my day.

Thanks James. Yes shooting a 24mm with the sun in the frame was an iffy thing as I spot metered off the railroad ties and locked the exp but you never know what the lens will do.
