37670 went home for the day - Cornish Parker!

[Stacey]

Hiya, went out chasing the Cornish Parker rail tour all day today;
locations covered were Marsh Barton (Exeter), Laira Junction, Burngullow, Parkandillack, near Treviscoe, St Blazey Depot and Gissons (Exminster).

Trerulefoot was visited twice and Dinnaton (nr Ivybridge) was also a used location though I didn't like those shots and they're not online!:roll:

Shots from today are here! http://www.staceys-fots.fotopic.net/c1698489.html

As a note though, the last time I saw 37670 in St Blazey depot was back in 2004 as in: http://www.staceys-fots.fotopic.net/p8405507.html

Was well chuffed to get 37670 back on home territory and... for anyone who scratches Wetherspoons pubs... my 162nd - Bodmin - is now dud!!

Is that taken from the main road bridge?

Nice shots.

One other thing;

How on earth did you make it from Marsh Barton to that road bridge so quickly? The traffic lights at Sainsburys are a nightmare at the best of times! Presume one is "Weasel's" shot?

Yes, that shot is taken from the main road bridge, have done the shot a couple of times previously:

Nice shots Stacey, although I think you need to upload them in a slightly bigger resolution if possible (my old eyes need help) just so they fill the page a bit more (this depends on how well quota consumption is going of course).

A bit of a sharpen after cropping would work a treat. Hope I don't sound bossy, just like to see people make the best of things

Well, it has been mentioned to upload them a bit bigger by one or two people before, I do have a reason for that which is indeed; space (I do upload a lot).
Hmm as for cropping, I rarely crop them as I tend to get them right when I take the shot more often than not. (Not meaning to come across as cocky there as I'm not!) - I imagine the softness you may be referring to may come from the fact I make them small, when you do that some of the detail is lost so maybe a sharpen could work..
Comments always appreciated though mind

Yeah I was well chuffed, as I say, to get 670 in BZ - the 'local' beast!! Was lucky to get into there for the fot... was better when it began shunting though mind as the end with 'Pathfinder Tours' on was hidden. Massive pity though it couldn't do a clay working... that would have been a work sickie!! lol
