Posted: Sun Apr 23, 2006 9:17 pmPosted: Sun Apr 23, 2006 9:20 pmLove Bullet Train Stubbsy, the reflections and blur together are outstanding
Posted: Sun Apr 23, 2006 9:27 pmThese are great Peter - especially the motion blur.
With the first one, if I was going to be super-picky, I'd twist it a degree or two anti-clockwise to straighten the edges at the extreme sides of the frame.
Colours are great. Good stuff.

Posted: Sun Apr 23, 2006 9:29 pmStubbsy - the 'Bullet Train' colours, reflection and blur make this a top shot. Well done, and have another Cascade Premium 
Posted: Sun Apr 23, 2006 9:46 pmPeter, all I can say with #3 is wow and mirror the comments above.
I'm on a strong colour bender right now, and this really appeals
I'm starting to feel envious of not being at Steamfest

Posted: Sun Apr 23, 2006 11:29 pmHi Peter,
it was a great morning, something very different. That's certainly something photography does to you. It gets you out to experience things that you may normally not consider going to. It was my first visit to steamfest.
I like all three shots, but like everyone else, that #3 is amazing.
I haven't had a chance to PP any of mine, just transferering them to my HDD right now.
Cheers,
André

Enjoyed the Steamfest with your and Andre's company.
N#3 is great.

The third photo is the pic of the bunch. I love the reflection and the blur characteristics of the photo.

Posted: Mon Apr 24, 2006 11:07 amI really love the last image, fantastic!
Posted: Mon Apr 24, 2006 3:58 pmThanks all for your comments. #3 concerned me a little. I really liked this image (in fact I liked all four variants I took and found it hard to pick which version to PP), but I was worried it was too blurred to be recognisable and so lack appeal.
Simon - first one is vertical - the car is tilted (a lot). If you look at the street lights you can see this or with the rightmost pipe on the building. I actually tried straightening the car, but then the street lights and pipes were too tilted. Can't win sometimes
Daniel & others - Steamfest presents quite a lot of photo ops and is well worth a visit next year.

Fair point Peter and I can see you've taken the best option.

No worries Simon. I think we have all managed to get ourseleves obsessed about straightness (myself included).
