How to track a train?
Posted by Magda (Vancouver, Canada) on 12 November 2008 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
The weather here has been so miserable lately that I needed to find some sunshine in my photo archives....
Thank you so much for taking your time to visit and comment on my photographs. It is greatly appreciated! :)

I'm sure the kids were convinced they would find a train at the other end of the tracks. This is really a sweet and nostalgic image of what childhood is. Great job Magda!

@Jeff: Thanks for stopping by! Yes, it was safe... we have to cross the line every time we go to the beach - the only way to get there. It is a very busy place (very popular tourist place) with trains still going by... On the left I used a brush to cover up all the tourists with trees to get a nicer feel to this photo. ;)

Magda, this could be an image used for a book ... or a video of years past. As for contrast, etc., it's all in the eye of the beholder! xx

You are a great photographer, Magda! I enjoy your photoblog so very much (and can't wait to have children myself some day :) ). I had a hard time choosing just one photo to comment, so I just chose this one. It is so extremely cute
