The fog touch up is really well done. Really made this shot come to life. Great job!

Development from RAW with lightroom and dodge and burn techniques with addition of steam with layers in photoshopIn my camera bag
A Full Frame DSLR Nikon D600 a Lumix LX3 and Smartphone OnePlus One. I have always in my bag : a Samyang 14mn f2.8, a Tamron 24-70mn f2.8VR and a 50mn f1.4 I have a ND1000 and a pola filter. A Nikon sb900 flash Some cleaning tools, paper and pen, business card, a small lamp torch and little money, a spare batteryFeedback
Need to look the existing lights carefully and play with the perspectives. I want to go close to the subject to capture a portrait of a steam beast instead of a landscape with a train because I was thinking to the Emile Zola book. This way I got material details, textures. I had to work bellow 50mmn at 3-4 meters of distance. It means that you have to take care of distortion and keep you lens in a vertical plan. I order to achieve this, it's important to be close to the ground level.
