Photography Project - Train Tracks

With that 'almost Spring' feeling in the air a photograph walk was in order this afternoon and with shot of these Train Tracks not to far from where I live knock another topic off of my photography goals for this year.

Train Tracks

Taken handheld with my the Pentax K200d and a  attached with no flash. Taken on 'Landscape' mode with on body stabilization turned on.

 Post processing to increase contrast and convert to B&W.

 Note: Using a  can of compressed air for cleaning a camara sensor probably would have some cringing but a very short burst of air before heading out for the day seems to have done the trick and a no longer have to do any post processing to remove those stubborn dust spots for the bottom right corner of all my shots. Bonus!

Being someone who is computer savvy I would normally backup to DVD, to external Hard Drive to web sites more regularly than I have been doing due to our recent house move, never let being too busy be an excuse, back up now before something happens to your important photos, files, financial records or and passwords too! So today's photo is of my old hard drive as I continue in vane it seems to recover the files on it, no luck yet using it as a second drive, trying GetDataBack and HDD Regenerator apps on it, although both programs are pay to use they do allow you to look at your HD first to see if there is anything they can recover and believe me I would gladly pay the 50 bucks to get those pictures back.

Sunrise over Boston Ma Today's photo reflects the start of a new work day in a new year (well ok I was back at work yesterday too but the sun rise reflecting off of the downtown Boston financial district looked better today).
