DerekEm8 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Messing about around the shed (Lees) in 1960. The 'Crab' wasnt ours. I thought at the time it made a neat contrast with the Austerity design and solid bogie wheels..... An attempt to replicate it with Bachmann locos a few years ago.... Larry, Crop the couplings and who could tell the difference ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.A.C Martin Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 That last one is so wonderfully atmospheric. I do like the way the lamps are looking away, and past each other. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Trevellan Posted April 10, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 10, 2012 Thanks for the kind comment. This was one of my old trainspotting haunts as a schoolboy. It was one of those shots where something very familiar suddenly took on a new dimension when viewed through adult eyes. The handwheel-operated gates were eventually replaced by lifting barriers and the level crossing itself was replaced by a bridge a few years ago. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Trevellan Posted April 12, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 12, 2012 I have been toying with the idea of submitting the image below for some time, but hesitated because it is more about creative editing than creative photography. The original edit was produced for a large print which worked well, but reducing the resolution for posting has affected the look of the canvas effect. For those who are unfamiliar with the area, the location is Minster, Kent, and the image dates from 1980, prior to the rationalisation of the junction. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

coachmann Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 You obtained quite an amazing depth of field @ f3.5 on medium format with the Westbury signals and train Chris.

A neat shot of the 33 crossing the landscape too. Good old Tri-X....! The same thought about DoF occurred to me too Larry. Also, I was more of a HP4/5 man than Tri-X. I did push-process HP5 on a few rare occasions, but didn't like doing so. Earlier today I was down in Southampton and shooting with my DSLR, happily bumping the ISO between 400 and 1600 without a second thought - and the higher settings still completely eclipse even fine grain film for resolution. How times change. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A neat shot of the 33 crossing the landscape too. Good old Tri-X....! The slightly wide 75mm Xenar lens on a Rolleicord always gave a little more d-o-f than an 80mm on a Mamiya or Planar lensed Rollieflex. I remember at the time being quite impressed with the central res, I'd only had the camera a month or two and this was the first time I'd used the lens wide open for a railway subject. The edges could be a little soft wider than f5.6, but subject matter did have a (apparent) bearing. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The aerial elevator is similar to a Walthers Cornerstone kit. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

coachmann Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) Oh good, the "like" button works. How desolate-looking is that! The place does come as a shock and it's probably the reaction of most folk when seeing Blaenau Ffestiniog for the first time. I think it has a beauty all it's own. I climbed a slate incline to get to the spot but as they are continually changing through slips it might be innacessible today.
