runs as required Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) Methinks posts #3130-3132 reveal contrasting drawbacks of the Blaydon Sweatshop's Photoshop /Spraymount illusions. 'Shakey' now looks just that a year or so on as the Spraymount has partially lifted and bubbled. The Castle/overbridge backdrop mounted behind the 2D platform building is never really going to be convincing since it is trying to deliver for too many camera positions. It was concocted with dt's platform level and camera truck photo postings as the priority. Mebbe more 'properties' work using seagulls and detail foregound cameos to draw the eye away from dodgy backdrop falsehoods might be a partial answer. (food for thought for the Sweatshop's Malta R&D unit) dhig [edit: that last posted pic shows the viewpoint prob even more! Surprising that the Folkestone Road view looks halfway plausable. may I propose a cameo elderly Mondeo driver in collision with an East Kent bus in the foreground?] Edited October 22, 2014 by runs as required Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

runs as required Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I find the feedback revealed in the further pics of the new backdrop in position really instructive: Picture_3741.jpg See how the seagull really steals the show in this view over the parapet Picture_3711.jpg Seems to shew 2 things 1 righthand side : an apparent visual continuity over the Folkestone Road bridge is more successful than I'd envisaged 2 lefthand side: the terrace villas bending around the wall to end up virtually alongside the platform edge don't seem to me to work from any viewpoint - and neither does the 2D flat elevation of the ex gents loo. I suggest a Mark 2 version ought to be simply tree and railings in the foreground/ castle in background to bridge the gap between the end of the canopy and the bridge. dhig Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
