The Final WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge has presented their final theme of All-Time Favorites, which, while being a bit sad that it’s their last prompt, is a great way to finish.
In the 5th contribution to this last hurrah of the WPC, I’m going to another simple image that I still enjoy very much after a number of years. Sometimes, the limitations of the equipment that we use in our photography can be used to our advantage, such as ws the case here.
Simple, yet complex…
This railroad track runs through the town, where I live, West Boylston, Massachusetts. I had thought about photographing it before, simply for the effect of the railway converging toward the horizon. As I liked the colors that I saw, I stopped and took the time for this shot, which added another dimension: lens flare.
The lens flare created a separation between the left and right parts of the image, which added to the interest of the scene. I thought about shielding the lens, but decided against it, as it told me that there’s something more to this scene than the simple railroad…
Have a great day!
