That's the trick with black and white, composition, and equal balance of light and shadow. You're supposed the compose b/w shots much different than a color shot because of this. If you jknow how to properly compose a b/w photograph, the that enbles you to become a better photographer, and your color shots will come out better too! ;) :thumb: This is a good exmple of light/shadow balance! Great Job Lester!! :thumb:

Nice shot, Lester, very effective use of b&w. The loco's not too shabby, either. I also like the different elevations of the two tracks in the foreground.

Lighting was a 500 watt halogen flood light from Lowes. The different elevations are because the nearest track is west bound of double track main line and second track is supply track to roundhouse and car shop, it drops to below ground level for loading & unloading at platform. And the engine is an old Riverossi with a mantua tender.
