About time

6 this week for me.

By the way, viewing the gallery was quite slow for me tonight compared to usual :?

 

[Gizmogle]

Wow...a really good set of pictures this week.
There isn't one that I don't like!

Number 6 for me too. Although I loved the DB blue tug.

 

[Jord]

Between 2, 5 and 6.

Went with 5.

4. Something different (in most forms of photography, differance is usually a key factor to why it may be a better image), i like the fact there isnt the whole train involved, its simple but nicely done.

The only other competitor being 5. its a great compsure, but it lacks the edge which 4 has, and some technicalities.

Thanks, good competition that.

I have gone for 2, but i really liked 1 as well.

Ah, unique liveries...!!

When I saw that was the theme for this round I knew I had just the subject I needed, but somehow I'd managed not to snap it anywhere. Still, with a week to go, I thought I'd have plenty of time and opportunity to get the shot I needed. However, after spending the entire week trailing it, I only ever saw it whistling past at 80mph in the opposite direction and, even with the delay, I missed the deadline. In fact, it was only today that me and it were in the same place at the same time, so I fired off a shot anyway.

And here it is. It's all academic now, but would you have voted for it...?

TBH, I'm a bit handicapped when it comes to taking snaps. I can only carry a compact (Sony DSC-T10) and often have to make the best of whatever station locations there are available and shoot stuff that happens to be around when I am. With a bit of thought and planning I'm sure I could have found a better angle, but I'd just stepped off the unit and had to make the best of the situation in the little time I had available.

Incidentally, there are some more interesting StanEx shot on my Fotopic site (link in signature line).

Quite probably...

very hard decision this week. But in the end I went with.....

 

[P156KWJ]

IMHO none are 'fantastic' from a photograhy point of view, but I went for 05.

 

[Gizmogle]

Really? I think the standard was quite high this week.

They are all 3/4 shots, but still, they're good ones.

I'd like to see you do better

4.

Yes, 3/4 view is often best though, cos obviously you can't stand in the 4-foot to take one so I'm wrong there...
With my 35mm SLR I've taken quite a few night-time shots using slow shutter speeds, some were good, some weren't, some were awful. The best ones I got in matt finish and I've got em all somewhere in my bedroom vortex somewhere

Honestly they never were gonna be because with unique liveries ya shoot it once for rateability sake then dont bother from then one.

 

[Boxcars]

Two for me

 

[Z12XE]

O L Leigh's photo!

 

[TyneAndWearMetro]

I quite like number 1

 

[Jordy]

Congrats to Craig

01 - class 313
02 - 87015
03 - emunit
04 - David
05 - Craig
06 - matt

 

[Craig]

Oh, I wasn't expecting to win this one

Thanks everyone

 

[Jordy]

1, 5 and 6 were all tied when it came round to sorting the competition out, but I never vote incase there is a tie, hence I picked yours.

So for the record, class 313, matt and Craig all recieved the same number of votes

 

[Craig]

Where do I send the cheque? Or was it my controversial choice of theme that swung it?
