pauledell Posted September 13, 2010 Share #1 Posted September 13, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Looking at the Nickle Plate Road 765 locomotive from a different view. This is as far back as I could get without getting a crowd of people in it. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveleo Posted September 16, 2010 Share #2 Posted September 16, 2010 I like this one for viewpoint and IQ . . . implies the power of the train. torch the building and add a touch of motion blurr to the back half of the train, and that may be a fun image Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauledell Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share #3 Posted September 17, 2010 Dave If I would have torched the building, I may have had a better viewpoint of the front of the engine. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Yikes . . . . wait Paul . . . . i didn't mean literally to torch the building . . . i meant to erase it from the image and add some motion blur to half the train.

daveleo Posted September 17, 2010 Share #7 Posted September 17, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Paul yeh . . . i personally like the building being erased, but not the motion blur. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauledell Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share #8 Posted September 17, 2010 Dave, Thanks. I feel the same way. I tried different approaches to the blur and it didn't work for me either. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted September 17, 2010 Share #9 Posted September 17, 2010 Paul - you've got a beautiful engine here. I'd like to suggest to leave it alone. There's no way you can get away with the front half of the engine blurred. It would grow longer very fast, and that's not a very common thing to do for locomotive engines.

pauledell Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share #10 Posted September 17, 2010 Philipp, Haha, I agree with you there. I didn't like it either. That is the first time I tried this sort of nonsense and may be the last. I tried blurring the whole engine and it looked like a badly out-of-focus picture. I think I will stay with the straight pictures. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveleo Posted September 18, 2010 Share #11 Posted September 18, 2010 when a powerful locomotive makes the jump to light speed, you have to expect some level of linear distortion during the tansient acceleration. please stay informed on these issues Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauledell Posted September 19, 2010 Author Share #12 Posted September 19, 2010 Dave, Sorry. I have been away from Star Trek too long. You're right, The blurred version looks like the beginning of the engine going into warp drive. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bateleur Posted October 13, 2010 Share #15 Posted October 13, 2010 Its a complete record of an impressive locomotive as it is. No touch ups required, at all. Regards Charles Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauledell Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share #16 Posted October 13, 2010 Charles, Thanks. Yes, I agree with you but I had to experiment. I do believe I like the version in which I lost the engine house more. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pauledell Posted October 15, 2010 Author Share #18 Posted October 15, 2010 experimenting is good . . . most times you go 'round in a circle but, hey, so be it Dave, You are so right. Sometimes the photographer tries "out of the box" ideas that may not work, but by having someone else look at it and critiquing it, how does he know if he hasn't stumbled onto something. I think this happens quit often. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
