Thanks David, I was expecting the train to be horizontal but I assume it could be affected by the track being on a curve at that point and me not being square-on to the crossing.I like this very much. ... long exposure ... selective colour work : brilliant.
Just seems odd that the barriers looks so horizontal whilst the train ... doesn't.
Thanks ChrisThat works really well Chris, clever idea too!
Thanks Clive, it was a good learning experience.Horizontal works well patience paid off.
Thanks PaulHi Chris, that works for me as horizontal. Maybe a slightly faster shutter to get more of the train but still, it's effective as is. Nice one!
Hi Chris ...I liked this as soon as I saw it ....the ghostly image of the train I think works really well.
Hi, nice ghost train, works really well for the theme
The wispiness of the train really caught my attention - hardly there at all. Great idea
I think that works Chris, and of course any shot with a train is obviously a winner.
A hint of blue with red lining. Arriva trains perhaps?
Nicely done Chris, liking the first one for me as the sky looks more powerful and engulfing the open land
Very big scary sky well caught the first one definitely works better, though they are both quite impresssivly vast
Both lovely images Chris. The second is nicely "stitched" and a beautiful scene but #1 is my fave with that cloud dividing the sunshine from showers.
Thanks, I guess I could have balanced it up a bit in LR but didn't want to loose the drama and the sun had just set to the right.#1 for me; a little bright on the RHS and a little dark on the sand but a nice moody sky.
Cheers
Thanks MarkTwo cracking images there Chris I like them both equally No 1 for the sky No 2 for the stunning view!
I think that first one is a cracking image, Chris. Really well taken and you've handled any distortion from the wideangle well. The stitching on the second has led to a huge amount of distortion - not sure if you could have used a different perspective method to help reduce it?
First is super, though
Thanks Chris, it's always blue skies and sunshine up hereNice sky in the 1st Chris, but I much prefer the colours and view in the panoramic.
Thanks SusieTwo excellent shots there Chris ...the sky in that first one is fabulous, and well done putting the second one together.
Poke some down this way can you? I've forgotten what it looks likeThanks Chris, it's always blue skies and sunshine up here
Thanks EmmaI really like the mood and light of the first - the brightness on the right is a bit distracting, but I can see how it adds drama.
Chris, liking your thinking for the Horizontal theme, on my bit of railway they are shifting at 125 max. What I like about your image is even though you barley caught the train is so obvious that its there, the barriers down add to the feeling of speed and danger. Nice one.
Vast is well vast, stunning approaching storm. Powerful and scary too, looks like an explosion
Thanks Steve#1 for me, I like the drama in the sky and the warm light. Good job on stitching the images for #2 as well.
Thank you Davidwooo ... love that storm cloud. .... and that crop.
Thanks TIm, I resorted to a geared head for the pano with full manual and fixed white balance. I'm glad you liked the track because it was quite difficult to shoot as I was shooting into the sun to get the shadows on the rocks.Vast - First one for me Chris, due to the cloud and the dynamic range you've covered. That said, your pano is a much better image than any I've achieved so far.
Rough - I think I prefer the track to the cross. I think because of the use of the leading line as the subject.
Thanks Carl, glad you like it, as I said above it was quite tricky to get a decent shot of it.Hi Chris. Rough2 is the more obvious link to the theme, excellent POV, nice leading line as Tim says and I like the fg interest in particular and for all those reasons it is my fave of the two.
