lightengine Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I don't think I've posted this one before taken at Bruckless Junction MPD. Shed 03.jpg Later that night Shed 02.jpg If someone could photoshop two or three real figures into that 1st photo I would have a hard job determining whether its a model.

Regards David As long as it evokes the real thing it's fine, and especially if it works for you, it's doubly so. Very hard to render well, but your pics very much suggest the great age of BR steam. Go for it! Rob 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Many thanks Rob Coming from you I take that as a big compliment as I have always admired your artistic photos of RTR models and the way you put the overall photo together. Anyway there's no stopping me know so here a photo of one of my favourite models and also my favourite A3 class locomotive as well, even though I never did see her in my trainspotting days in north London in the early sixties. So here A3 60097 Humorist working hard under a stormy sky on the Waverley Route. Regards David 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmcg Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 That is lovely and very evocative. The background and foreground are very good. As you will have found, it isn't simple getting the effects of steam and smoke, what you have done around the tunnel mouth is great.

lightengine Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 My first attempt at creating a decent photograph from my modelling without it appearing 'Cuneoesque'. I know others have been accused of digitally over manipulating photos. I used a convenient natural background and used the available subdued natural light. My RTR model, bought quite cheaply on ebay for a touch under a pony only needed 3 minutes of weathering to reach what I think is an acceptable look. Without using expensive photo editing programs I used some basic craft techniques to recreate the smoke. The wagon needs some work but I bought it 'as new in box'. To capture Cuneo fully, I placed the mouse in various places before settling on this photo as it looks more natural. I hope that my photography will placate the purists who seem to dislike anything too digitally enhanced even though the resulting photos are marvellous examples of photographic creativity.
