Morning

 

 

This is looking superb sir. I think your right it is lacking a little something. Maybe som dirt? Water stains on the sea wall! Either way it still looks Glorious especially with vacs on it. Heres a few shots I thought you might like. The boy with shorts on with Sir Eddy passing is me!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cheers

 

Mark

 

Mark,

 

Just noticed this post and I think it would be courteous if you recorded that the second photograph was not one of yours and that you had downloaded from a previous post.

(Its even got my original description on it)

Derek, this probably needs the Mod's attention I would think.

Although in all fairness (in my modest oppinion of course) it has to be said that Mark never did say he took any of those photos - after all, he's the young lad in one of them so he certainly didn't take that one.

Good Evening

 

DerekEM8 I am sincerly sorry and completly agree it was discourteous of me to use yours or anyone elses photo with out permission or credit.

MODs/Andy thanks for deleteing, I have contacted DerekEM8 by PM to explain myself, needless to say it won't happen again.

 

Mark

Scotsman about to enter Parsons Tunnel as the sun descends....

 

Not the best photos I've taken. The light wasn't very good today. Also, despite my best efforts, the smoke doesn't seem to be very visable. And I feal that the focus was slightly out too. Shame about the roof on the Mk2 not being on properly for some reason.

They're ok, but they could have been slightly better I guess.

Nor am I, colour one perhaps by a whisker.

But it might improve with repositioning the clouds (or the loco) so that the fluffy clouds don't look like they're coming from the loco? And maybe soften the sky a bit, as the sky and the front of the loco are really sharp, but the cliffs in between them aren't, making it look more obviously manipulated.

Maybe.

Good to see some photos of Smugglers Lane again! :) You could bring this up to date by parking an excavator on the beach & having a dozen or so of the Orange Army getting ready to repair the sea wall.... ;)
