Hi all, we went for a visit to Tanfield Railway yesteday afternoon and had a ride on the steam train - this is the worlds oldest operating railway, there is a large number of engines in vaious states of renovation, a great place for a walk around.
All images A700 + either Minolta 28 - 135 or KM 17 - 35
Best wishes
Paul
ps If anyone is in travelling distance of the railway, they are having a photographic evening on Friday 9th September - with fired up trains until after dark

Re: Tanfield Railway
Nice pictures Paul - I especially like the shots in the workshops - I imagine it was pretty dark in there?
Nex 5, Nex 6 (IR), A7M2, A99 and a bunch of lenses.

Re: Tanfield Railway
Absolutely beautiful Paul, love those old steam engines. When I was a kid, some of the engineeers would let us ride in the cab while they switched cars. I remember how hot it was in the cab.
Re: Tanfield Railway
Lovely shots. Thanks for sharing

Re: Tanfield Railway
The HDR/local contrast enchancement works well on this subject Paul, especially in the shed, suits it (in contrast to the abbey). It enhances the sort of engineered feel.

Re: Tanfield Railway
Hmm, just have to say that I love them all, Paul.
Indeed, this time around the HDR works greatly for these machines.
I like how you went low for the last shot that frames the roof and skylight as a background which I suppose is because the machine was right behind the black one and provided a tight place to compose.
Thanks for sharing, : )

Re: Tanfield Railway
#2 is my favourite for the nicely balanced colors and the wonderful "metalic" look of the steam boiler. I am all in for decent effects, for me the art lies in balancing them to enhance the visual impression but remaining mainly invisible - like spices in the food.
