2.     did you put up your own?

Panorama taken from the platform of Dover Priory railway station. The picture was taken after a day walking along the White Cliffs of Dover with friends, who duly collapsed onto the benches waiting for the train.

While DP. platform  1., is on the (occasional). dining table, I decided, to give the trusses and upright's a lighter shade of blue,instead of dark grey.

Later,in a few day's. the platform fronts,will be lightened,from a dark brown.

Ah now that's better, you are getting to the juicy pictures.

Quality even if not quantity, love the pictures. can you get a through the (looking glass) tunnel view?

Plus I think a very light touch of black weathering for shadow in the bushes will help give it a bit of oomph for the photographs. Lovely work.

Have you ever notice greenery always has blackery..........for the deeper shadowed parts.

nice kit, are they a stock item are you order them? Do they cost much?

 

40/41.

 

Moorings......    Jaz,

 

I think I have sent you this link before, most of the product's John supplies,are really effective.(just practice,like all things).

Best to drop John,an email,for best time to ring,have a chat,as to want you want to do, really nice chap.

Better still,save your Saturday pocket money,(Swedish Knoner).

See his products @ Newark, Exhibition,21/22.Sept.

No doubt, Kal,will be saving his,to spend on Richards' (Dcc Concepts.) new product.

Will be good to catch up with Richard again,after last year.
