Rural landscapes: out of the valley of darkness

TRAIN TRACKS ON A CLOUDY DAWN, GLENBOW RANCH PROVINCIAL PARK, ALBERTA

I’ve photographed these tracks before, but this time I wanted to take advantage of the pre-dawn light and create something with eye-popping drama. Got on my knees (getting creosote on my jeans) and photographed from just two feet above the ground to give the tracks prominence, then adjusted the camera setting to super high contrast. This is the result. Pretty cool, eh?
Nikon D7100, enhancing filter, tripod, two graduated density (darkening) filters on the sky
