The station makes for some great HDR opportunities. My friend Jim and I were able to talk an influential employee into photographing from upstairs in the station which is now a hotel. I like shooting from this different perspective.
Converting photographs of old places to black and white offers a nice sense of place to historical buildings.
I love this old original safe on the second floor of Union Station with the stacked suitcases from another era.
The beautiful Denver Union Station upstairs bar (above) and (below) one of the private cars available for corporate or private luxury traveling on the rails.
This is a photo of a poster over the underground pathway that leads from the railroad tracks to the station. I reversed the photo so that you can read the writing on the top of the poster.
Today the California Zephyr is the only passenger train that goes through Union Station. It's journey takes it from Chicago through Denver to San Francisco. A scenic trip on the Zephyr is on my bucket list.
All of these photos were taken with the Olympus OMD EM-5 using only one lens, the Olympus 17mm 1.8 lens. For a future Denver trip I am going to focus on the massive rail yards. I will appreciate your comments.
