10 ~~(will vote when polls open)~~

Jordy · 3rd June 2012, 18:31

It's there now, you actually managed to post before I had finished writing the numbers in the poll!

Ivo · 3rd June 2012, 19:38

I was not at all confident about this one, and it got worse when I accidentally sbmitted my entry with no additional information! (Thank you to Jordy for sorting that problem.) Now though, I think I might just manage at least a Top 3!

As for my choice? It would be #8 - but technically it's seen through a bridge and not under it, because it was effectively taken a few seconds too early. Given I don't feel I can choose it as a result, #15 wins on account of matching the criterion twice.

That's a new one

I'm not commenting on which one I submitted, but I doubt I'll win this competition. Where's the bridge in 2? 8 and 10 are excellent pictures. 15 is an honourable mention.

I can see a bridge in 2? well something that looks like one at least

A couple of photos looked really good, a mix of old and modern. I chose the one that mixed old and modern and had effects without even editing so I hope it wins.
10 also deserves an honorable mention though, I bet it might have the chance to win.
Also, what's going on in 9? I find the train really small but a good angle at the same time, so it's like marmite.

Well done EltonRoad.

Thanks also to the two people who voted for mine

Btw Ivo, in yours, how on earth is that half arch supported?

Ivo · 10th June 2012, 23:12

3rd with four votes matches my best performance in POTW, although the first time I came joint 3rd out of a field of six so I would say this is better, especially considering I didn't think it was very good - 'twas just a good match for the criterion. So thank you to the four people that voted for me.

Well done to EltonRoad, once again. How many more will you win in 2012?

How the Hell should I know? Ask the (Northern) Irish, not me.

I just expected you to know

On first look, it looks like 2 images put together...it is a rather odd effect it creates! The sort of effect that would have been possible on film cameras when the film got stuck.

PS I know you took it like this, just to clarify

I did no such thing - it just blurred. For this reason I almost didn't enter the shot!

You of all people should know I'm more-or-less hopeless at photography

I need to visit a railroad museum in Connecticut since it seems like pictures of steam engines win 99.9% of the time.

It's not as it looks. It's two seperate tunnels with the Blackstaff Rd/Donegall Rd crossing above at roughly 45 degree angle.

Ivo was standing on the footbridge looking towards Central Junction, that leads to Great Victoria Street station.

The train in the photo is the 14:57pm Bangor to Portadown local service calling at every "hole in the hedge" finally arriving at Portadown at 16:30pm
