Another train station

Dr. Mhuni · 2011-03-31T11:27:42+0100

After Iqbal's railway shots from Indonesia, I thought I'd post some from Fort Station, the main station in Colombo, where I've lurked a bit of late. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. All shots taken with a K5 & Sigma 50-150 f2.8 (Small images posted due to the large number and the fact that PUF resizing was softening those in landscape orientation)

You've stopped a bunch of my colleagues in their tracks with these (no pun intended). Very nice set.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Was down at the station again yesterday evening - this time with wider lenses.

Interesting to read the divergent views on 1 - I myself wasn't sure but in the end the guy in the door sealed it. As for 11, I do like it unequivocally but am no longer surprised by the vagaries of PPG.

Grrr... Sometimes PPG judgments drive me potty! No. 7 has been rejected, when it was one of my favourites. I do wonder what's in voters' eyes sometimes. I have got images accepted that are so much inferior to this that it's embarassing.

What a fun set! I think #7 is my favourite although #6 is a close second.

Well done. K.

Shame about that. The PPG is unpredictable! K.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.
