Description

Growing up, this is the steam engine I played on in the park. In recent years, it has been restored & put back into service for heritage tours in the interior of British Columbia, Canada. My dad & I took the "Armstrong Explorer" tour in the fall of 2006. I shot this in color with the intent of converting to B&W. I used a blue filter to bring out the detail & texture in the engine & curves adjustment for tonal range. Converted to B&W using Power Retouch Pro filter - B&W studio
