Phnom Penh Railway Station

That building is the Phnom Penh Railway station. I found everything in this capture is very oldish. So I decided to "sepia" it... how do you like it?

Yup, the picture was taken on a toktok on-the-move, I turned my back to get this shot.
Yup, the motor-rider here doesn't wear helmet...

Focal Length : 27mm
Shutter Speed : 0.005s (1/200)
Exposure : f/7.1
ISO : 200

Picasa2 : No cropping, but edited with Sepia Tone.

This picture has a nice touch to it. It make it seems like it was taken a long time ago but it wasn't. Good work!!

Ariel, Great shot, composition is great. this works very well in sepia tone. It feels like it should be back in the 50's or 60's. Nice capture. BJ

Nice work Ariel,I think the sepia tone works well here, I think though I would have cropped out the couple on the right side of the photo as there as we dont see all of them anyway, and maybe left on the rest of the truck,(this is my opinion) all in all great work and thanks for sharing....gina

Good move on the sepia Ariel. This is an ageless photo. It could just as well been 50 years ago. Having a bit of traffic moving through adds to the effect just that much more. Very well done. - Scooter -

Spectacular photo. I was thinking your comment would be, found this picture on some old film, and decided to develop it. Truly does look like an old picture.
