Thank you Sir. Even I am enjoying to learn with D3300(My first). The above one was tried with a friends, 18-105. Searching for a better telephoto lens, though 35mm prime and 18=55 Kit are sufficient right now.
Post your Train shots!

yes, they had the parking lot tore up, got the shot on the fly.interesting old unit indeed! Were you at the northwest railway museum? If so, that's a former kennecott copper alco rsd-4, built in 1951. Alcos of any flavor have become rare; alco (american locomotive company) stopped making locomotives in 1969 after nearly 65 years of production. The diesel engines within alcos sound absolutely wonderful and are a railfan favorite.

Is this the Chattanooga Choo-Choo?
No, this one just goes to the top of Lookout mountain. The real Chattanooga Choo Choo is out of service and parked as a tourist attraction.

Thanks! I remember driving a truck through there and seeing the one you posted. Isn't it in Chattanooga too? I mean Lookout Mtn. is in Chattanooga, right?

@Lalam. I'm really sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I saw your question last week but had no time to reply, then I forgot all about it.
I can't remember exactly, but I know I did it in Nik tools. HDR Efex pro (one exposure), then took it into Color FX pro, then into PS for some selective color and selective sharpening.
I'm sorry I can't remember in more detail.
I put up a RAW file if you would like to put your spin on it.

Thank you. I liked the dramatic effect very much. Now I shall try to learn if I can come somewhat near to it.
Local freight exiting Jarret's Tunnel:
A heavy westbound freight stalled on the grade following a locomotive failure and after being rescued by the helper locomotives, got underway once again in the fading light. Man, it gets COLD quick in those mountains when the sun goes down!
