Railway/Streetcar Graveyard

[BlackSheep]

We visited a little outdoor streetcar/bus/railcar museum last summer, I just wanted to share a few of what I got. I'm thinking of printing them up as a series:

1.

6.

B&W...all of them...or more saturated color.

Perhaps?

Not bad, I kinda like these sorts of series.

Are you certain this was a museum though? Looks more like a place where unwanted stuff is left out to become nothing but rust stains in the grass.

I like 1 a lot, but I think it would be even better without any sky. Did you take any at different angles?

Some of these, like #3, would benefit from HDR processing.

You won't hear this often from me, but I'd love to see these with more saturation

Cool collection overall, but the last one is my favourite by a landslide – could be used as exhibit A every time someone says that photos with power lines never work.

Model climbing that ladder in jeans/heels or such may contribute tremendously too

Thanks everyone for your comments!

Haha, Patrice, it was sort of a museum, at least they charged us admission! They did have a bunch of restored cars in a big barn, but I didn't get any good shots of those ones, they were too clean for my tastes. The ones you see in my shots were stored outside waiting to be restored, I think.

Thanks Invisible and ceeboy for the suggestion to add saturation. The originals were "true" to what I saw, so I initially didn't want to change that. But I tried it, and you guys were dead right - I really like them better now - thank you! Here's a couple:

And Ken, thanks for your comment on #1. I did get a few shots without the sky, but they didn't look as good. The shots with the sky made the car shiny. Didn't get that in the shade, here's one:

And 2wheelphoto, lol, I'll try to rustle up a pretty girl for you on my next submission
