Very nice. I like what the HDR does to the B/W. Which program are you using?

Rhodge, Essex is a very cool place to shoot. I haven't been there in a while but am planning to go this spring /summer. I'm guessing that you were there in the later part of the day from looking at he shadows. I would like to see the images w/o HDR, is that possible?

Thank you for the nice comment, I use photomatix for all of my HDR photo, I haven't used it for many B&W photo but wanted to do something different.

Hi Roger
These were taken last Saturday late afternoon, it was wonderful, finally a nice day to shoot, it was also nice to be able to shoot with no distractions, not a soul was around, I had the place all to myself. Did you want me to post a few of the original here?

I was shooting at Westbrook town beach prior to the train station, fun childhood memories of my aunts cottage across from the beach. Glad you liked them.

Never met a train i didn't like! Thanks. There's just something about them though that makes my brain go all gooey and forget about looking at pictures photographically and objectively,they're just all so great as a subject there's no way to comment except to be grateful that you shared them.

I think it the nostalgic feeling you get, that's why I like the black & white, or very little color to give that old time feeling. Thank you, it more fun when you can share with others.
