Hi, Miguel.A wonderful image, David.
If you pardon my (insatiable) curiosity - of what and where was it taken?
It's a VIA Rail train that ran between my home province and Montreal, no longer in service. I was in a parking lot not far from the station. Behind a fence was the rail yard where the train was idling. The dramatic light attracted my attention, and I liked the way it rendered the texture of the train cladding.
I had a Nikon D50 in my briefcase, and took one shot. Framed it to crop out a lot of clutter and emphasize the sky, and to make it more about the mid-century design of the train than its mechanical elements. Total grab shot, although I knew right away to should be in B&W.
The real lesson: it doesn't have to be a great camera, but it does have to be WITH YOU. With that in mind I went out shortly after and committed to the Ricoh GR family, sold my Nikon SLR gear.
Glad you like it.
