What a really great image Luis!...I love the dark processing and your B&W conversion.

(PS - I arrived here via VFXY after seeing this image in the 'Buzz' section so I favourited you while I was there)

@Ian Bramham: Ian, really pleased to hear how you found me. I too enjoy seeing your work and found many to add to my collection. I looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Glad you liked this image. Some are turned away from my tendency to go dark, but it's how I wanted to interpret this scene.

Luis, It is great!!! Love the DARK! Under the top beam, the window reflections, where are they coming form? Tricky. It is whether you were inside the train... but then we wouldn`t see the tracks in the foreground... Or you had a very slow shutter with a passing train...????

@Nataly: Hello, Nataly! The light is coming from within the train --there are lights on both sides of the sealing bordering the center ceiling of the car. I did you use a somewhat slow shutter speed and the train was just departing the station captured through the window. Sorry I do not have my EXIF information visible. It appears to get lost with the program I'm using to reduce the size of my high resolution tiff for posting on the web. I used a wide angle 10-20mm @ 10mm.

I knew it! I was practicing some motion shots yesterday and when the object moved really fast I could see through it in the shot. It`s so cool.
