South Simcoe Railway, Tottenham
January 1st is City Daily Theme Day and this month the theme is "Photo of the Year."
How can a photographer choose one favourite photo? Impossible!!
But this one I do love for many reasons. For one, I discovered this neat Simcoe Steam Railway, a heritage rail that my husband enjoyed visiting several times ( I kid you not! Photographers drag their families along to get the best shot even if it takes more than once or twice or more). And we dragged a few friends along too, even convincing them to take the short journey aboard the train from Tottenham to Beeton!
In B&W
Lately, I have been converting a few B&W photos for a future project. The South Simcoe Railway has made the grade.

ReplyDeleteWOW!!! I really like this one in B+W. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteTelling a photographer to pick their favorite shot is almost like telling a parent to pick their favorite kid. Impossible.
ReplyDeleteYou did pick a great one though!

ReplyDeleteExcellent choice EG, j'adore the old steam trains! I know exactly what you mean about dragging friends along on photo hunting excursions, thankfully most are willing participants :)
ReplyDeleteThis is one of those that I definitely like in B&W! Just seems to fit the subject maybe? However, I like either version. Love trains for some reason.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, EG. The colored and the B+W are both great, in their own ways. I'm not picking!
