Biig Ratty

morlandroger · 13-07-2008, 21:40

Had a short run down the coast on Sat 12th to Ravenglass, home of "Laal Ratty" Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway Plan was to take a few shots of the estuary, which (after a leisurely lunch ) we did.

About to leave and this turned up so reparked the car and dashed out for a few pics.

My wife does not understand me (or anyone who photographs trains)

Thanks for looking.

GREAT SHOT ROGER, NOTHING LIKE A BIT OF STEAM. HOW ABOUT A MONO OR SEPIA FOR A BIT OF NOSTALGIA

You took the words out of my mouth WOODY. Working on the B&W as I type.

WOODY · 13-07-2008, 22:11

GREAT, NICE ONE ROGER, LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING IT.

Just a thought

I used DCE Tools ReDynaMix (similar effect as HDR) for the train, did this to bring out the details in the shadows, masked it and on a copy layer I Burned the sky and masked it.

Thats it !

Hope you like it

It looks rather fantastic

And I certainly like trains.

morlandroger · 14-07-2008, 21:18

I really like that. Prompted me to go back to the original Raw file and reprocessed from scratch. I think I have more detail now. Left the sky with only slight adjustmen because that is how it was on the day.
Thanks all

Roger

Cool !

frances · 15-07-2008, 05:05

That really improved it !! like it, I love trains!, now, how would sepia look ?

Rob Barron · 18-07-2008, 15:05

The only picture I can see is Sotelo's. Have you moved yours Roger?

morlandroger · 18-07-2008, 15:10

Yes Rob, tried to swap them round in galleries so the one I prefer (2nd edit) is on public show and the original is in a private gallery. Went to edit posts and could not do it.

Here they are again

Love all the detail there, really captures it nicely on this curve. I think the full image could come down just a touch as it looks like a slightly over-exposed shot now (which I know it isn't!).

Little thing but as it would be very easy to do, I wonder whether it would be worth cloning out the house behind the engine? I think that would set this whole shot off a treat, really like it

Cheers,
Rob

Cheers Rob,
Will try that. Clone out the Station will give that a go too. I already cloned out a lamp post that looked completely out of place on the Left.

Thanks
Roger
