About the Image(s)

This image is of the restored railway trestle originally completed in 1920. It still is one of the highest (44 meters, 144.4 ft) wooden trestles still standing in the world. It is now a part of the Cowichan Valley trail on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, with the area leading to and at a Provincial Park. When I took the image I had just aquired a Pentax Q camera with the standard lens. The camera considering the sensor size did a decent job but an image greater than 11 x 14 if all went well would be the max for prints. Taken at ISO 125, f3.2, at 1/320 sec. The standard lens was 8.5mm or 47 mm full frame equivalent. At the time it was taken as a jpeg, processed in an older version of light room and the mono conversion was done in Mac "photos" I did some sharpening in Topaz Sharpen AI

Hi Ed, I love the texture of the side of the tressle, and the curved leading line into the back of the image. I tried to lighten the lower right dirt just a tiny bit and it showed more of that texture. Other than that, I love this one.   Posted: 05/07/2023 22:24:13
