It's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog and a double digit day. 😀 I have a new photo program that I have been teaching myself to use and I taught myself how to do the Pencil technique I have used in Photoshop before. This is another dip into the archives with an image from the Grand Canyon Railway using the Pencil Look technique.
It's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog. Playing around with the Pencil technique again, this time with the Union Pacific Big Boy locomotive. This is an image I had captured as it made it's way across the fields just west of my town here in Kansas back in 2019. It was very cool to be able to see this huge locomotive come through our area.
It's kind of a double digit day and also it's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog! I played around with an image of my favorite railroad, the Cumbres & Toltec and gave it the Pencil Drawing look and I think it worked OK. This is the train heading out of Chama New Mexico passing over the Chama River by the campground we stayed at. Lots of people go out and wave to the riders as it passes by. The train is on it's way to Antonito Colorado on a beautiful ride. I like to ride from the NM side best because the train works very hard to get up to Windy Point from this side and it's great to hear the "chuf chuf "of the locomotive as it pulls up the grade.
It's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog and the last one of the year. I have to share my favorite railroad to end the year. This is from my last trip there on my 30th anniversary in 2018, wow, can't believe it has been that long already. Anyway, I decided to apply the pencil technique to it for something different and I liked the result. I took this image while we were riding the train.
