Rumblestripe Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I do like that one! If I might make a constructive suggestion, it'd ideally work better with a shorter train - partly for authenticity, partly to see the loco, partly for composition... Admittedly short trains aren't particularly easy to come by on the valley (save the drivex, which is perhaps a little too short!), but maybe an early morning run on a gala day with 2-4 coaches, before it gets too busy? Just an idea! I too really like that shot and I know what you mean about the composition but I am trying to imagine the conversation... Photographer: Excuse me mate, your train's too long! Driver: Sorry? P: Your train, it's too long, it doesn't look right. Could you just drop a couple of coaches off so I can take my shot? D: @$#%&!!!! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.A.C Martin Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) Is the gull attached to the pole? Honest m'lud, I did not fake the seagull... You're a braver man than I Mr.Martin....I would have been tempted to remove that pole the seagull appears to be impaled on.... Neat atmospheric shot well captured. Thanks very much Larry I tend not to edit things out of photographs. Colour balance sometimes gets changed, but this one is just a resize on my iMac's Preview program so it fits the RMweb page. No other editing undertaken. I really liked the coincidental timing of the Seagull unfurling its wings, and being in Brighton, well, it seemed appropriate!

Coldgunner Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Now I've got a smartphone, I've started to take more pictures, but they are largely unsatisfying, other than buying a half decent camera, how can I get the best out of my Android?
