I visited the Tennessee Central Railway Museum today with a coworker in order to scope out a place to shoot lifestyle photos for an upcoming product. This is one of the passenger cars that can be found there. By the way, I know I'm new to Nashville, but I really think this is a hidden gem in our city. The museum is a non-profit organization of locals who cherish the locomotive history of Middle Tennessee.
So, I was driving around with the camera shooting random stuff after dropping off some baby fuel (Wendy's) to Jill at work. Made a drive through the industrial area just east of downtown and noticed this view of the skyline. Sure, this isn't what my eyes actually saw, but I knew there was potential. The yellow tones sort of gives it an apocalyptic feel, but my eyes are drawn more to the power lines and tracks.
Alright, it's early still (9:45am is early to me), so I am starting the morning off with a simple blog to congratulate my photo, "December Night in Nashville" for becoming the first to reach 1000 views on my Flickr site. Woohoo!!
The day is almost over, but I couldn't say goodnight without wishing everyone a Happy Bokeh Wednesday!! Each week I gather up a few of my amateur shots that include that "bokeh" effect (one focal point surrounded by background and sometimes foreground blur), and post them into this fun Flickr pool. It reminds of "Hey Day" at Auburn, except everyone in the group wishes you "Happy Bokeh Wednesday" instead. Fun, fun. Have a great night.
Relaxation...Toby Style
