Peter Kazmierczak Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 A wider-angle view of the same scene (and train) at Christchurch. Which, if any do you prefer? 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold martin_wynne Posted November 13, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 13, 2014 Hi Peter, I prefer the wider view, but I would have cropped it closer and to a landscape outline: Either way it's a great pic. Martin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastwestdivide Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Just for balance, I prefer the closer, colour one, for the way the blue and white support brackets stand out, and for the shadowy figures making their way home (I imagine).

eastwestdivide Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Nearly on topic, the Network Rail photo competition winner has been announced at: http://www.networkrailmediacentre.co.uk/News-Releases/Birds-eye-view-of-London-Bridge-tracks-lead-to-national-photography-competition-win-21b7.aspx A striking black and white aerial image looking down onto people boarding and alighting trains at London Bridge station, which is undergoing one of Britain's biggest station redevelopments, has won the Network Rail Lines in the Landscape Award at this year’s Take a View’s Landscape Photographer of the Year competition. The prize was a ride in the NR helicopter or in the New Measurement Train. Which would you choose! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiffy2 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 It's a good photo, using a classical composition, but I don't think it's particularly creative. But I'm not completely sure what creative means in this context. I'm just seeing well composed and technically proficient. Creative would be (for me) focussing on a detail which illustrates or explains the whole, or use of light and shade to make a 'different' statement. Using a sepia filter - meh.

eastwestdivide Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I wonder if the NR judges were influenced by being able to promote the London Bridge redevelopment on the back of the winning photo. Does it even fit the theme "Lines in the Landscape" particularly well? And do we need a "meh" rating icon? Maybe not, just asking for trouble.

lightengine Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I think that area where the tracks weave past the Shard is certainly Lines in The Landscape, but a photo taken from track/street level would have shown it better. To me it is reminiscent of the U-Bahn in Hamburg weaving through the city and passing 1st/2nd floor window levels of buildings. Something I always found fascinating.

RMweb Premium Ian J.
