That's really good - so evocative and I love the old adverts, cobbled streets and no cars! I don't think Macdonalds adverts will ever have the same character. Also today some scumbag would graffiti all over the signs.

Where is it?

**Dabhand16** · 16-08-2007, 17:39

That is just excellent! Nice processing too.

Not meaning this in a bad way as it shows you've got a mighty steady hand but the finish is so clean it almost looks like these have been pasted onto a blank fence to assemble the final product.

I'd like to see a full colour version where I suspect this impression would vanish.

Sharpness, exposure, composition all tick the right boxes with me

Thanks Silky.....It's Beamish Museum, Co. Durham. Very large open air museum, I shot 6 gig worth that day so don't be surprised if you get more!

silkstone · 16-08-2007, 17:47

Let's have more!

Never been to Beamish - always meant to go - must do!
