Unicorn1 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Well, some might argue that this is niether 'real' or 'model', but that's another arguement! RHDR no 14 'Captain Howey', Dungeness 31-12-2008. The effect is soley down to the large apature used, it was getting late in the day. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc smith Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 (edited) Of course, when locos are ex-works, they can look a bit like an unweathered shiny, brand new model, straight out of the box .... especially when the environment they are sat in, has been spring cleaned too.... Edit; Look - not even a fag packet or bit of chewing gum in sight Edited November 27, 2012 by marc smith 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc smith Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Applying the Unsharp layer technique, as I describe several posts above... But this time, I have used photoshop to over-saturate the colours of the building in the background, and particularly the sky..... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Colin_McLeod Posted November 29, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 29, 2012 Just looks like a bad photograph to me, whereas the upper photograph looks like a very good study of an ex works prototype locomotive on a bright sunny day. Its the kind of day that sticks in the memory. Nice pic marc. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the kind of day that sticks in the memory. Nice pic marc. Yes, appologies for that.... Perhaps I went a little OTT on the blurring.... The pic was taken at Eastleigh Open Day a few years back It was a rather fabulous day, and I wish there were 1 or 2 more events like this each year Anyhow, here's another version of the original pic - slightly less blurred, again, my point being that with a little over saturation of blue skies, looking oh-so-perfect, and a clean loco, and clean surroundings these elements can make the subject appear model-like Edited November 29, 2012 by marc smith 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pH Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 A couple here (one of them actually has a comment about it looking like HO in the description): http://www.railpictu...=382696&nseq=25 http://www.railpictu...d=403482&nseq=7 I wonder if the clean, bright-coloured locomotive has something to do with it.

I don't think much of their weathering Indeed, the bright colours make it look shiny & out of the box... In the 2nd pic, the high viewpoint makes the scene appear model-like..... A great pic though.... Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Endacott Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 id like to see someone make a full sized wooden mockup of a Hornby tension lock coupling and put it on a real loco. I have seen a picture of that being done but can't remember where I saw the photo. It was in one of the magazines, maybe 20-30 years ago.
