Why not try something a bit different

I've created a set in my Flickr site of shots that are not mainstream train shots.
I find it most satisfying to try to get shots that are a little bit different.

See what you think.

Sorry, I think I got the link wrong.

Try this:

When I get round to uploading my stuff to flickr, I'll do the same :lol:

 

I tried a blurring shot at Rawtenstall, ELR late yesterday in the fading light. The photo isn't a classic, but I noticed something that I thought was interesting.
As the carriages passed, one was a "blood and custard" and the next was maroon. The blurring seems to show a remarkable smooth merging from b&c to marron.
I'll remember that and might use the idea to merge something else sometime.
See what you think.

Excellent stuff Graham, top notch. Iain

 

Finally starting to get round to it. More to come in the following days and weeks .

Flickr is a great way to get your photos noticed and a great way to share them too

 

My stab at something different:

Both products of the Vulcan Foundry, Newton-le-Willows.

 

I like that. At the risk of using EVERY generic 'arty' phrase, a good composition, with enough, but not too much, detail. Only slight criticism would be the the background clutter on the far-right, but not much you could do about that :lol:.

 

Another slightly differing one taken this week-end. EE wins by a cab-length:

I took this shot at Ramsbottom on 9th January:

While waiting for 44871 to arrive, I took this one.
http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=351389

It seems to have taken off. It was given a People's Choice Award on RailPictures.net and has now had nearly 4.600 views. It's now my 4th most popular shot out of 860 I have on that site.

Not bad for an American site with viewers from all round the world. It would be nice if it encouraged a few of them to come and visit us here.

 

Would this count as something different?

 

I don't know if these would count as something different but its worth a shot!

They're interesting shots of motion (particularly to the engineer) but what's the particular theme? Is it workshop orientated, ex-works engine, or something else?

 

Just a collection of wheel and motion shots! No theme, does there need to be? They are just shots I took while wandering around yards etc

Most of my pictures tend to be straightforward record shots, but I do occasionally get the opportunity to try something a bit arty :
