It’s not unusual to be a little suspicious of self-proclaimed “fine art photographers”. It’s also perfectly acceptable to not give the issue much thought. Until, that is, someone contacts you offering the opportunity of hosting an exhibition in an art gallery.

So it was a matter of choosing one strong portfolio, and processing the very best images to give them the “fine art feel”. Below is a selection of dramatic photographs from – yes, again – the incredible train cemetery on the outskirts of Uyuni, Bolivia.

Such is life.

Dead end.

Locomotive skeleton.

Off track.

Out of steam.

Loco no motion.

Let’s do it.
No, let’s wait for the photographer to leave, first.

‘nother couple.

Rusty canvas.

Tipsy?

Things could be worse – it could be raining…

Final destination.

Daydream.

All – no, most – of these photos have been blogged before. So, rather than on the content of the images (or the silly captions!), what i would really enjoy is hearing your opinion on the dramatic, red-filter effect i introduced during processing. Is it dramatic to good effect, or is it simply over the top? How would you react if you walked into an art gallery that was exhibiting these, printed nice and large?

All and any feedback will be dutifully pondered and much appreciated – thanks!
