Description Inspired by Half-Life 2. Train pictures seem to "get right" when the colors and contrasts are getting adjusted the right way, so the third, or fourth I changed this deviation I tried to get a better and more natural lightning, and less "sharp" contrasts. In the post-processing I tried to get this dystopic, ominous and post-apocalyptic feeling you get in certain movies and games, like 28 days later (movie) and Half-Life 2 (game).

FROM THE SAME SESSION:

One day you will realize I
One day you will realize II
Awake but asleep
Beyond the fence I
Beyond the fence II
Incantation of carbon I
Incantation of carbon II
Everyday regret
Escape from City 17

I like the space from the back of the train, it makes that loneliness feeling to appear.

Thank you very much.
It's actually partially inspired from S.T.A.L.K.E.R also.

DarkMetaphor In reply to MEBC [2009-06-13 14:08:40 +0000 UTC]

Yes. I'm trying, and sometimes the results gets better and better. I think cloudy days (those heavy looking clouds) are great for HDR pictures.

Yeah, that's exactly what I wanted it to look like, something "post-apocalyptic". Thank you!
