I spent 4 years living in Leigh Creek so this brings it all back to me.
Spent many a happy hour or two taking pictures of the train.
Then laying in bed at night hearing the train go through during summer.

Cheers Dean

Would be interested to know cause. Broken rail… but after the locos passed over it? Nah. Broken axle or wheel failure? Probably.
That sure is flatland… reminds me of some areas here in the Western States.
Good nobody was injured.

However there is little done in post Mark, apart from when I might convert a picture to black and white or use a technique for an artistic effect which is pretty easy to see.

I love your pics. Did you do much to them in post? There’s something unrealistic about the edges on the details, but I can’t pick whether it’s an artefact of the photo or just because the entire landscape looks so spectacularly unrealistic in real life 🙂 Thanks for sharing.
