For the Train Appreciation Society
Trains are not my 'thang', but this has been hanging around my file for a while and I've not posted it.
I'm sure someone who does like trains will be pleased to see it, so you're welcome. Rolo |

Re: For the Train Appreciation Society
You think this is a "train" shot?
I'd love to see a big print of this beauty.

Re: For the Train Appreciation Society
This is the Night Mail crossing the border,
Bringing the cheque and the Postal Order, Letters for the rich, letters for the poor, The shop at the corner and the girl next door........... WH Auden. People would pay cash money for that picture.

Re: For the Train Appreciation Society
I'm with Andy on this one. Would love to see it enlarged & hanging on a wall.

Re: For the Train Appreciation Society
I wasn't asking for it to be closer
 If it were closer, it would be just a train - here it's a marvellous addition to a beautiful landscape.

Re: For the Train Appreciation Society
Agreed. Not much of a train shot..., but one hell of a landscape.
Love that light on the hill and the locomotive smoke just takes it to another level. Nice catch!

Re: For the Train Appreciation Society
pete - you've mis out the photography reference :-
Letters of thanks, letters from banks, Letters of joy from the girl and the boy, Receipted bills and invitations To inspect new stock or visit relations, And applications for situations And timid lovers' declarations And gossip, gossip from all the nations, News circumstantial, news financial, Letters with holiday snaps to enlarge in, Letters with faces scrawled in the margin |

Re: For the Train Appreciation Society
Rolo,
a definite money shot. The summation of all the parts make for an outstanding photo. I'd love to see the sequence of shots from which this came. what lens was this shot with?

Re: For the Train Appreciation Society
Well to quote Stuart from another post "I did not have great expectations when I saw this title" but I should have known from seeing your other work that it would be magnificent. This is a stunning capture!

Re: For the Train Appreciation Society
Rollo, I am a little late visiting this one. (Been preoccupied sorting out my catalogue workflow). I do agree with all of the plaudits above. Landscape with train is one anybody could live with on their wall. Find a poster publisher and you could earn some holiday money!
