Jon020 Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Ok, I'm definately new to this thread... but thought that the photos were wonderful - what's wrong with somethiong artistic?!? Thought that I delve back through some folders and try to suggest a few of my own - not all as artistic as those already here - but hopefully along the right lines: Starting with a Bulleid lamp on 92 Sqn: A close up of Bulleid Smokebox doors - Original and Rebuilt: An intended imposing view of Duchess of Sutherland Looking down the chimney of a 8F in the early morning light Special light on the NYMR A study of texture on the NYMR And finally.., hard at work, feeding the Bulleid Please let me know what you think 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Kazmierczak Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I like the composition of the final photo of the fireman; very good sense of movement. My favourite is the rear view from the train of Gresley stock - almost timeless.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon020 Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Thanks Peter. I was just looking out of the window, facing forwards, watching the 8F point up the gradient when I turned around and saw the sun effect in the smoke like this... and instant snap, but worth capturing. The fireman was restoking the firebox of 34081 (92 Sqn) at Hold, ready for its return run to Sheringham in 2007 - during my lucky experience of a cab ride. An interesting hour or so.

binesrail Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Hi all, Here is some more train porn for you all... first is 6024 King Edward I, pulling the Tawbay Express back from Kingswier to Bristol, passing the Dawlish coast. Second is a photo of the suports for Dawlish station, very nice to look at. And last but not least is taken from the footplate of Axe on the L&BR at Woody Bay.

pinza Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I have posted this elsewhere but hope the mods don't mind me adding it here as I have applied some creative touches to the cropping to just keep the two children in the pic to the right, and although I've had this pic in my head since seeing something similar in 1985. it took 25 years to actually create it! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Fitness Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 These creative? The class 37 is at Holyhead and was taken with a Pentax ME Super. About a 7 minute time exposure at F22. I walked down the train and popped the flash gun a few times to fill in the bogies. It really really needs re-scanning! The class 66 was taken at Chester during relaying of plats 5 & 6 a few years ago. Canon 300D with a borrowed 50mm lens, about 10 seconds at minimum aperture.

Rumblestripe Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 These are from one of my galleries: If Dali met Gresley The reflection of the steam pressure gauge in 4468 Mallard is distorted in the highly polished paintwork of the cab roof. Reflections on a Record Holder The glass front of Locomotion Museum, Shildon is reflected in the highly polished paintwork of 4468 Mallard. Image has been converted to Monochrome in Corel Paintshop Pro and the contrast slightly tweaked. Mallard: Name Plate This image picks up it's contrasting orange reflection from the scrolling LED displays in the museum. And here is a link to the rest of the gallery containing less "arty" detail shots of 4468. Mallard at Locomotion, Shildon 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold LH&JC Posted August 15, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 15, 2010 Here are three attempts at being creative, the first two are taken at Grosmont showing a weed growing on Dame Vera Lynn, the second has been tinkered with, using a website to 'tilt shift' it and the 3rd was taken at the Port Erin museum on the Isle of Man showing No.12 Hutchinson being prepared to return to Douglas.

DaveC46026 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Special light on the NYMR Hi Jon your shot reminded me of one of the very few steam pictures I've ever taken at the same spot on the moors! Regards DaveC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_S Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Some fantastic shots here - can't veiw the whole thread on my phone here but managed the first 2 pages. One thing does strike me though - where is the speed? On the moving train pictures everyone appears to have "stopped" the locos as if they aren't moving? Why? Has no one ever thought to drop the shutter speed and capture the motion? I appreciate that the steam locos won't be moving that fast on preserved lines but I still think it should be possible to get the movement in those wheels and rods at least, especially on railtours etc 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
