shot originally in b/w. cross process script applied/faded somewhat. edit: removed the cross processed colors.. it had to be done, i'm sorry if you preferred it the other way :p

i went to the train bridge to throw rocks into the river and meditate, basically. i slept most of the day away and needed some fresh air.

:to clarify:
this was shot at night, at 8 second exposure- that light, in fact, was a train's headlight. bastard conductor nearly deafened me.. i finished the shot and got out of the way long before the train got very near to me -- i would have liked to wait longer, but i didn't want to get into any trouble or have the cops called on me.. it wasn't traveling very fast so i wasn't in any danger. but the conductor waited until he was just passing me to blare his horns.. it was really quite painful for the ears.

I liked this shot when I saw it in my deviantWATCH. Now taht I know the story behind it, I like it even more. I just love when people share unusual stories about how they did to get such a result on their photo.
I have to admit I prefered it cross-processed but this version is still really good. :nod:

:thumbsup:

I like. :shocked: It looks like one of those scenes in movies where everything slows waaay down and the clouds start moving really fast.

that is a really awesome shot, the light got captured really nicely. and i think the dirty grittiness of the image adds to the feeling of being on a train bridge.
