KCS 4596 Missed Opportunity

I took this picture this evening. As I was driving home, parallel to the train, I realized that a second train was waiting for this one to pass. Had I known it was there I could have shot them as the closed on one another Oh well... maybe next time.

Nice catch. Too bad you missed the meet. We don't see to many of those (KCS Units) up here in MI. Better luck next time.

Until I started coming to this forum and got my interest in photography rekindled I had no idea how lucky I was to live where I do. There is a main line that runs between Houston and San Antonio that runs right thru the little town that I live outside of. They change crews just outside of town (about 5 miles from my house).

I like the shot but you may be able to bring the levels up just a touch. I can give it a shot for you if you'd like.

Jon.

Thanks. I would appreciate that. I'm still struggling with how something should look. My monitor is calibrated (Spyder 2) but I lack enough experience (or confidence) to know what I should be seeing.

Here's a really quick curves adjustment, not a lot though. Are you using Photoshop?

Cool. Thanks.

I took Dante King's suggestion and bought the 1Dsm2CSpro plug-in from Fred Miranda and ran the pic thru that. I made a pretty big difference in sharpness.

I'm using CS2. I've seen the curves selection but I have no clue how to use it...
