Re: A Signal Box ..

Had a bit of a play, hope you don't mind. As you say, curved tracks were the interest, and the signal box, so cropped to them (tho' should've left more space above, I think)



Crop, clone out power lines, slight sky gradient, vignette, tone

Re: A Signal Box ..

One tip ... take a look in "Levels" & see how much space there is either side of the black & white point. Pull the right & left slider inwards until it reaches the start of the curve. Now look at the difference

I've seen your work Payno, To hear (see) you say that is a great compliment. I took the shot quickly as I was in a hurry to get somewhere. I would like to spend more time doing stuff like this but unfortunately I cant due to other commitments, so thanks !!

The power station is still there and is actually on my back doorstep.

I'll start another fred in this section with some pics of it !

Churz !

Yep, using the Histogram palette. You can move the sliders at each end of the horizontal axis.
