Interesting topic, should see a nice range of shots.

 

[Prodigy]

Awesome, live right near a line on which 185's run on, definitely going to give this a shot

 

[Crossover]

See these things and travel on them quite regularly but as a result have hardly any pictures of them! Will have to see what I can find during this week

 

[IanPooleTrains]

Ah, desiros, specifically of the diesel variety, I think I have el picture perfecto for this one!

 

[Crossover]

The fight is on IPT :P

(Just realised that after the last comment, my avatar is of a 185...d'oh!)

Ooh, interesting. Hopefully I've got some reasonable shots of 185s to enter, I found nothing for POTW526! All being well I won't have to resort to digging out CDs of my photos, which is what stopped me entering POTW526 (I know, lazy right!), got to have some lurking around somewhere!

Now if only I hadn't used that shot of a 185 reversing at Darlington in the ECML round a while ago, I'd have used it for this! That said, I think I've got a lush (does anyone else ever use that word these days?) pre-sunrise shot I can use

Looking forward to seeing the other entries for this!

If you didn't win with it (can't remember if you did) then you can reuse pictures again I believe.

As to "lush"...no...and it reminds me of Gavin and Stacey :P

I thought I'd choose this subject to give as many people as possible a chance of entering. Also, no-one can say I entered any of my "nostalgia" shots like the one at OOC.
Mind you, I have some tasty 185 shots too, so I hope this will be a real challenge, attracting some high quality stuff. Remember what I've said before: Rule of thirds composition, properly exposed, keep it level.
527 should be a good 'un.

No I didn't, but some people have good and long memories, so will remember whose shot it is and I'll have possibly wasted my time entering it. Besides, I think I've got better. We'll soon see though.

Never watched Gavin and Stacey, my closest interaction with that is seeing too many times the poster for the DVD of it at Newport many moons ago. I've no interest in that programme, hopefully it never comes back! So I've no idea where I picked the word up from!

EDIT: Phew, found the photo I was looking for. Entered it, although I did nearly change my mind. This one's better than a standard three-quarter profile shot though I reckon!

 

[willig]

Do you think the admins would accept this as my entry?

Techie photography terms are not my strong subject...expand :P

 

[Lampshade]

One of only two classes I've completed and I've got no shots of it

Just submitted my entry and in the immortal words of Jex Clarkson:

Beardy, you're going down!

 

[Prodigy]

Hope I can wake up early tomorrow, be cool to get a nice sun rise shot

 

[87019Chris]

Its not letting me upload mine I think its too big as the limit is 5MB and mines 6.8MB not fair :cry:

 

[Prodigy]

downsize it on photoshop or gimp?

 

[87019Chris]

could do but I cant get onto a computer with that software until at least next week

 

[willig]

If you like, you can PM me and I'll send you my e-mail address, you can then send me the file and I'll resize it for you. I've already sent mine in

 

[87019Chris]

If you could that would be great cheers

 

[Prodigy]

Ehhhhhhhhhhh

 

[MidnightFlyer]

I hope we get some sun in Mossley tomorrow, damn weather is ruining my chances of getting a good shot!

Best not to say stuff like that, it makes your entry obvious.

I bet the winner will be one either emerging from Standedge or Dore Tunnels...

I tried that photo the other week, I have had to enter something else this week

 

[Crossover]

Entered mine last night and let's see if I can buck the trend you've put forward MattE2010 :P

Is sellis89's statement correct? If so, couldn't you enter it again?

 

[IanPooleTrains]

Stephen, you do know that I have to beat you.

I don't mind someone else winner but I just have to beat you

 

[Prodigy]

Finally got some shots, scanning through the best ones as I type!

It isn't in the rules but I'm sure I have read it somewhere that a photo can be re-entered as long as it hasn't won previously and isn't currently your avatar...Jordy may be able to clarify this though?

Ah, a good old bit of friendly rivalry...bring it on and let's see what happens

 

[Prodigy]

Good luck to all that entered, really proud of my entry this week.

 

[willig]

I love all the enthusiasm (and friendly rivalry) that this subject has produced. That's exactly why I picked it. I can't wait to see the entries.
