cliff park Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I have followed this topic from the first post. I would like to make an observation. Not a criticism, I have no grounds to criticise. But sometimes I look at one of your pictures and I am there, in the station, in the farmyard, on the dockside. And then I look at another one , and it's a model railway. I have tried to analyse the difference, and I have come to the conclusion it's the camera angle. Low level pictures look real, high levels makes it a model. I guess it's because we see real scenes from ground level, and invariably we see models from a high angle, looking down. And the mind associates those angles with those scenarios. I defy anyone to look at the goods shed pictures above and definitively state if they are real or model. That's not to say that I don't love the high level shots, they are invaluable for ideas and technique, but to my mind the low level ones are the best. Keep up the good work. 10 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I have to agree with you there, the ground level pictures could have been taken 90 years ago. The birds eye views show the whole scene and help tie all of those images together and give each a sense of place in the landscape. I remember when I was still at school and all of the monthly magazines had just started to introduce the detail pictures, rather than the Google earth photos that were the norm. That is when I got into the idea of building actual model railways rather than adding buildings to a train set. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNP Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) Eye level pictures are my favourite and my default way of taking pictures. They are the way we normally see things for real. They are difficult as you need the the lens at eye level which up until I got my compact camera was near on impossible to say the least for my Nikon DLSR. With the advent of remote control via the eye phone the whole process got easier. I say easier but you still have to place the camera in and amongst the scenery with all the inherent risks that entails and there has been many a repair done afterwards to trees, shrubs, point rodding, and other items that got flattened. But, for you, the intrepid reader we Percy Vere (sounds like one my names for a figure!!!) and push on regardless of effort and sacrifice needed to obtain that picture that otherwise might not have been taken had the challenges had been thought about beforehand.....

I vaguely remember a cartoon character in a newspaper(?) called Percy Vere towards the end of WW2 Intended to encourage / keep the workers producing the munitions etc. All good propaganda!.
