I really like these shots. I often photograph railroad tracks because I like the way the line converge. I like the range of grayscale in your first shot.

Very interesting shots. The black and white is perfect and I love the old and rustic feel.

Black and white photo are just great technique to highlight the texture and line. I like all of them

Thanks everyone, ive never been great at B&W then a friend taught me a tip in lightroom!

He basically said adjust blacks and go greyscale then bang contrast to 100. I sis add some further tweaks but based it on that principal.

Its a shame I couldnt complete the set with teh 3rd, its a little dreamy however it didnt suit the other processing.

Everyone needs a picture of their trainers - right?
