Trains - The Northwest Railway Museum

Trains - The Northwest Railway Museum

sepor pisan sepor

It was a beautiful sunny day yesterday, so I thought I would venture up to Snoqualmie, Washington, and capture some of the wonderful old trains located at the Northwest Railway Museum. All are in HDR...my current passion in photography! Remember to click on each photo for a larger image.

The following is from the museum website:

The Northwest Railway Museum Collection contains representative examples of Northwest railway history including steam and diesel locomotives, freight cars, passenger cars, maintenance of way equipment (used to maintain the right of way), a five mile segment of historic railroad, a nineteenth century train station and thousands of publications. All of these "artifacts" offer some insight into the significance railroads played in the development of the Northwest.

The "motive power and equipment" artifacts often get the greatest attention from the visiting public. Some of this equipment is used on the Museum’s 5-mile Snoqualmie Valley Railroad and some have been cosmetically restored and can be found on display at the Snoqualmie Depot. The remainder is in storage awaiting restoration. The pending construction of the new Conservation and Restoration Center will allow significant improvements in collection care and will allow more artifacts to be placed on exhibition.

The Snoqualmie Depot was constructed in 1890 by the Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern Railway. It was used by successor companies Seattle and International Railroad, Northern Pacific Railway, and the Burlington Northern Railroad.

I'm so pleased with the outcome of these Pseudo HDR Pioneer Square scenes. A "Pseudo" HDR image is made from only one Raw image instead of three.

I feel these are two of my best HDR photos to date...and the first being one of my favorite shots of all time. It just shouts with color and detail! Note the reflections in the small puddle!

I'd love to know what you think...and make sure you click on the photos, because more detail and color show up in the larger images.

Thanks for dropping by!

If you love early architecture, you will love visiting the Pioneer Square area in Seattle, Washington. As a photographer, it's a wonderful place to capture, especially when its not raining! The two photos posted are Pseudo HDR's, manipulated from single Raw images taken in early 2009.

Make sure you click on the images for a larger view!

From pioneersquaredistrict.org:

Settled in 1852 and burned to the ground in 1889, Seattle’s historic Pioneer Square District features 88 acres of beautifully restored architectural masterpieces, including buildings designed in the Second Renaissance-Revival, Beaux-Arts Classical, and Richardsonian-Romanesque styles... one of the largest collections of unique architecture in the United States.

I thought I'd take out 2009 with a few new High Dynamic Range photos that I captured last Sunday. These were taken a couple of miles from my house near Browns Point in N.E. Tacoma, Washington. Make sure you click on each photo for a much better view.

I'd love to know what you think.

To all my friends, and followers of my blog...May you all have a very Creative and Happy New Year!

HDR Photography - My First Attempts

0 comments Posted by amir at 6:46 PM

HDR Photography is also known as high dynamic range photography. HDR photography is the process of combining 3 or more exposures of the same image. The idea behind high dynamic range photography is to highlight the best exposure for different parts of the same photograph. HDR photography typically works best in outdoor settings, or settings with a wide range of light and color.

The 1st photos in this post were taken at the West Hylebos Wetlands in Federal Way, Washington. The last photos were taken at Alder Lake near Elbe, Washington.

To all my "Plein Air" artist friends - using an HDR photo reference is pretty close to working on location!

I'm still learning how to create these HDR photos, and I'm having a blast doing i! I'd love to know what you think! Make sure you click on the photos for a better view!
