Rolo Posted March 12, 2007 Share #1 Posted March 12, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted March 12, 2007 Share #4 Posted March 12, 2007 Rolo - Superb! Had John Houston seen it he would have based a Western film on the image. The very wide crop serves the train well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cardinal Posted March 13, 2007 Share #8 Posted March 13, 2007 Pretty neat shot, I agree closer would have been better. It looks original though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted March 13, 2007 Share #9 Posted March 13, 2007 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambroving Posted March 14, 2007 Share #10 Posted March 14, 2007 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! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolo Posted March 14, 2007 Author Share #13 Posted March 14, 2007 Isn't that just a beauty! Lovely image Rolo, was that a came saw got image or did you have to sit there for a wile till everything came together. Peter Ha ! Sat there with a coffee in the car chatting to a mate wondering what the strange guys we'd seen were up to on this freezing day in the middle of nowhere. However, we'd stopped at a location where the hills looked good for a landscape or two. Then we heard a whistle and a schug, schug ......... out, grab camera, elbows on the stone wall for a tripod and half a dozen frames later it was gone. So yeah, sat there for a while.

imported_peter_m Posted March 15, 2007 Share #15 Posted March 15, 2007 Rolo, It was easy waiting, not out in the cold huddles under a tree trying to stay warm. That doesn't make the shot any less impressive Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LichMD Posted March 15, 2007 Share #16 Posted March 15, 2007 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? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pemayeux Posted March 15, 2007 Share #17 Posted March 15, 2007 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! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wda Posted March 15, 2007 Share #18 Posted March 15, 2007 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! David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
