Standing still & moving

Three different takes on the same theme. Taken at Hunter Valley Steamfest:

Love Bullet Train Stubbsy, the reflections and blur together are outstanding

[Manta]

These 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.

Stubbsy - the 'Bullet Train' colours, reflection and blur make this a top shot. Well done, and have another Cascade Premium

Peter, 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

Lovely images Peter but the last is a ripper great sense os movement, colour and composition.
cheers

Hi 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

Great day and fun!
Enjoyed the Steamfest with your and Andre's company.
N#3 is great.
Have you captured the "pro" photographer? two Canons on his neck one is dummy and one is working?

Realy not into trains but your last shot is a stunner......... well captured.......

Stubbsy,

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

[Jamie]

I really love the last image, fantastic!

[stubbsy]

Thanks 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).
