Advertisement Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 Hi lambroving, Take a look here Raw Power. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
jmr Posted November 20, 2006 Share #2 Posted November 20, 2006 William, strong shot with plenty going on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambroving Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share #3 Posted November 20, 2006 John, Thanks. Maybe Dan got an acceptable shot of the whole engine, but I doubt it. Light was sheer crap and it's preserved in a bad position. 8 AM with some decent cloud cover might do it.I'd hate to be anywhere near this rig if it were operating. Never seen such a huge loco before! http://www.nps.gov/stea/planyourvisit/upload/up4012.pdf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbertnl Posted November 20, 2006 Share #4 Posted November 20, 2006 William, You're right, steam locos are expressions of raw power much more than they are 'romantic'. This makes them fascinating in my perception; they do not hide the enormous amount of power unleashed (and hopefully controlled) by large machines. Best, Norbert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasw_ Posted November 22, 2006 Share #5 Posted November 22, 2006 I am drawn to this image almost because of the slight haze, William. You set the shot well. respectfully, thomas w. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambroving Posted November 23, 2006 Author Share #6 Posted November 23, 2006 Well..., obviously this "salvage job" did not have "universal appeal"! Norbert, Agreed. Please post some more of your steam shots. I miss them from the last Forum. Thomas, There was some ugly stuff just to the right of this engine. As a matter of interest, you can see how accurate the 50mm frame is on our M5's. The cab is just barely included on the right, which was my intention, and this is full-frame.

norbertnl Posted November 23, 2006 Share #7 Posted November 23, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) William, Thanks, during summer I took some shots of one of my favourite steam locos over here - using the Hassi though, which requires some extra justification to post them in this forum. So take a quick look, it'll depart in a few seconds: [ATTACH]16125[/ATTACH] Next year I'm going to substitute my laptop for a large screw-wrench every now and then, and help a group of people run this marvel (see Dampflok-Tradition Oberhausen eV - it's the 41 360, a Mikado). I promise I'll always take a camera with me .... Norbert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted November 23, 2006 Share #8 Posted November 23, 2006 Nice shot Norbert, the use of DOF is excellent IMHO. It does illustrate the technical weaknesses that William was battling with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pemayeux Posted November 24, 2006 Share #9 Posted November 24, 2006 I like your shot William, I think all of the contrasts and lines and angles convey the sheer 'mechanics' , for lack of a better term, of the subject. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
