Artist's Comments

My attempt to capture the George to Mossel Bay 'express' with Ansel-Adams-like (read: pleasant) tonality as it gently roars through Klein Brak Rivier station.

This must be one of the world's very few daily steam-operated services.

I love this shot. There's not a single bad thing I can say about it.

I do have one question, though. What is this Ansel Adams tonality that you speak of, and how does one obtain it through digital means?

(I know who Ansel Adams was, by the way)

Thank you!

Well, Adams has written a couple of classic books on photography, and has helped to pioneer the Zone system, which is really just a set of guiding principles in visualising and exposing the image. The one I most closely follow is "expose for the highlights, process for the shadows". By doing just that with this image, I am pleased in the way it turned out, and feel that it has enough depth and tonality to be an interesting image...
That's good advice. I'll have to follow up on that guideline. :)
