A very dynamic picture, Paul.
paul: it was strangely difficult to take any decent pictures given how many spectacular engines there were. Too many people for one thing
I love the Railway Museum. I took my children there to see the Flying Scotsman, I was telling them all about how nice it is only to find that it is in peices being restored. never mind, it was a great day out. Nice shot
paul: plenty of other things to see - but what a shame. You'll have to go back
No been here for Donkeys Ears, nice bit of PP tickling youngster.
paul: neither had I. I was tempted back by a photo exhibition as part of their on-going China festival
It really seems moving. Great effect!
paul: The wheels were actually turning slowly. This particular engine was cut away on the other side to show the internal workings. I just enhanced the blur a little and a touch of pretend dust/smoke
Nice one Paul, much better than my efforts there!
paul: I'm sure you got some good ones Chris
I'd love to be able to do that! Great sense of movement
paul: there was a useful tutorial in Digital Photo magazine on adding motion blur
Love the movement and the lighting, great job, seams like an interesting place to visit.
paul: lots to see there Astrid, well worth a visit. And it is free!
Great place to visit. Better still to see them working. Those look like the wheels off a merchant navy
paul: if you say so Bill
Taking the opportunity to call in on your blog while I'm on a computer that actually works! Oh for the golden days of mechanical technology that I could understand - you put the coal in one end and steam comes out the other, thus creating power!!
paul: I thought your PC was clockwork Penny? Time you got your new one sorted!
It certainly looks as though it is moving. Great close-up. I'm not usually a fan of train pics but this one is a bit different.
Ingrid
paul: everyone likes steam trains surely
Clever PP, nice one
I think Bill was right, this is the cut open Merchant Navy if memory serves me correct. Love the dynamic action here Paul.
paul: I'll take your word for it Brian
