1 from last night

Tanfield Railway photo shoot last night, plenty of photographers turned up. This is just one of the many shots I got and only the first I have processed so far after a quick look through the raw files....20 sec exposure.

More to follow if you like.

Sirry I missed this throught a D------d cold. Great shot of '49'

Great atmosphere there, Ken. I'm not normally a mono fan, but it suits this perfectly.

My only slight criticisms are that it looks like it should be rotated very slightly anticlockwise, and the bright area in the foreground is a little distracting.

Shame as you missed a good night, quite a few turned out bit surprised really.....I'll post some more for you once I get them processed.

Yeah I wondered if I should rotate it....the bright area is the ashes from the fire, for some reason they shovelled them out onto the ground at the side of the train.....don't know if this was needed or if they thought it would make better pics for the togs?
Thanks for the comments.
Ken.

Print it & hang it .... wonderful dark shot, although I would agree toclone out the hot ashes

Nice shot & treatment on the 0-6-0 J-94 Austerity

Nice looking image. Not fussed by the hot ashes as they add an extra interest factor (would they chuck 'em out to bring the fire's temp down a notch, since it's only standing?)

Perfect place to use that clone tool.

Hey that's 50p cheaper than what I'm doing them for

Nice shot & well done.

Rob Barron · 19-09-2007, 23:31

Yup, lovely image, really chock full of character and atmosphere, well done.

Only minor point is I'd prefer the balance of space at front and back to be reversed, ie a touch more space at the front and a touch less at the back. It is usually best to have a little more space in the direction the object is pointing towards.

But other than that I think this is a cracking shot.

Cheers,
Rob
