A straight, non-HDR photo with a bit of a retro look to it, plenty of strong lines, shapes and textures. I'm actually wondering what groups might be appropriate for this work, could it be construed as artistic? or not?.
This is definitely the coolest building on the University of Minnesota campus.
This is one of my favorite shots I've done in quite a while. I hope you all like it.
For the processing, I shot in Raw and then converted to black and white with Camera Raw. I'm really happy with the black and white tone I ended up with. I basically only captured black and white, and not a whole lot of gray in between. I tend not to like photos that are converted to grayscale that have a lot of different color shades.
Equipment:
Nikon D90
Nikkor 18-105

Track Geometry train W001-16 was making a northbound trip up the Toledo Sub on a partly sunny Tuesday evening. Fortunately, the sun had perfect timing and lit up the scene nicely. They were testing all of the siding tracks on this trip. The previous day's southbound run was all on the main track.
The CSX Geometry Train (W003) flies by the Main Street Crossing on the West Shore branch of the CSX Rochester Subdivision.

A woman walks past a building with a display under construction.
One element of the urban/street world that fascinates me is the juxtaposition of "perfect" structures — geometric patterns, shiny metal, highly designed forms — with the imperfect and always-deteriorating nature of this world — peeling paint, dirty sidewalks, constant construction and reconstruction, accumulated dirt, and so forth. Long ago the fact that urban structures fell short of the theoretical perfection offered in architectural drawings bothered me, but now I find it fascinating.
This is an example of one of those little scenes that always seem to catch my eye. The facade fo this building is, from one perspective, quite boring, even though its patterned wall and metal lights depart from typical (and often rather plain) urban surfaces. But notice some interesting things about it. For example, because the sidewalk and street are inclined, the designer was faced with a question: align the metal form beneath the windows with the sidewalk or align them with one another? And if you align with the sidewalk — as is done here — what do you do about the size of the windows and about their alignment? (The sizes were kept the same, leaving the lower bank out of alignment... but they are "corrected" in the second level!) Beyond that, the contrast with the op-art nature of the under-construction window dressing is fascinating. I waited for a passer-by to enter the scene before making the exposure.

TGC4, one of the Subway's two Track Geometry Cars, rumbles across the diamonds at the junction of the Myrtle Avenue and Jamaica Lines. It's returning from a run on the Canarsie Line and is not taking measurements, which can be known because the array of lights on the front are not lit.

After being completely caught off guard by this train while eating lunch, the train thankfully stopped at the Rosenberg interlocking to allow for a maintenance window to occur. On an overcast afternoon, BNSF track geometry train O HOUTPL rockets north on the Galveston Sub towards Temple. 3/13/2019
