Photo or oil painting?
ISO800, 220mm, f/9, 1/800s, -0.6ev, selective levels
Another steam locomotive shot taken locally, just north of home. Running late, by the time she swept through there was quite a gathering of curious passer-bys, most were amazed that that they still run and that it's not an openly advertised event.
Note: Just google UK Steam for all mainline steam loco activity.
With the hazey, cloud filtered sunlight, muted winter colours, classic grey clouds and a bit of high ISO noise I couldn't help but play on the image looking somewhat like a Constable style oil painting. I left in the noise and added a dose of levels to darken areas with a large soft edge brush. I really like the effect, especially given it's only slightly photoshopped (levels took about 20 seconds to do).
