Pullman Car

Posted by

This is what we rode in all day long. The two Pullman cars were pulled by the Heisler engine (No. 3).

**************************************************************

TONIGHT we head to Portland where our family will gather for Thanksgiving tomorrow. Will be back Friday afternoon.

the engine ALMOST has a 3D look without feeling "overprocessed".

I like the processing work on this - it gives it an old feel with a lot of texture! Great work on these images and have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family!!

How i love that processing!!! Never quite worked out how to do it myself...any hints?
Looks like a wonderful steam train experience!

25 Nov 2009 6:43am

@Linerberry: Nik Tonal Contrast in Color Efex, and then Topaz Detail.

Chris Parr from Jefferson City, United States

I like the processing very much. It reminds me of a post card from the 40s or 50s.

The HDR makes it look so surreal ... it looks like a miniature, but I guess then you wouldn't have fitted in it :)

@Monique: No HDR, but I did apply Nik Tonal Contrast and Topaz Detail that give it the look that it has.
