Railways and People

It's never too soon to start training the next generation of heritage railway volunteers. (Proud Grandad )

 

A lone figure (my brother) examines the remains of Corfe Castle station in July 1972 with track lifting imminent. We could never have imagined what it would be like 50 years on.

Chitiz Pradham is with Ajay Rai and 4 others at Nimki Dara, Hill Cart Road,Darjeeling.

 

Ouch. Is that a real photograph or is it an AI generated image? Either way the colour is really awful, at least in my opinion.

Sorry for the negativity

Unlikely to be AI, the photo was taken by Chitiz’s wife.

 

The colour depends on (1) Film stock and (2) Processing. Those of us who used AGFA in 1968 know all about colour balances hence would accept the colouring of this image

 

But that image looks digital, not film. And what I accept of a 1968 photo is not what I look to now.

 

But the photo is all of 5 days old! At least according to when it was posted to Facebook. (The creator just seems to like that weird high contrast style, judging by some of his other photos).

You can split the chroma image from the B&W image, manipulate them separately, then recombine. The result has this 'plastic' feel to it depending upon what you've played around with.
