Very impressive Shaun. I'm not a great fan of overdone HDR either but when done with restraint it can be very effective. These have great quality and I love the moody skies.

Tyneside Dawn

Tyneside Dawn

Out nearly in Newcastle on Saturday morning to grab shots of the ex LNER steam loco The Great Marquess leaving on a charter train to Blyth, Morpeth and then down the East Coast Main Line to the Wensleydale Railway in North Yorkshire.
The bridges over the Tyne looked good in the early light.

Well done Bob, that's a very good start to your PPG portfolio.

Love the misty mono Lakeland shots Mark. Those last two in the first set are exceptional.
The London Millenium Bridge and St Paul's is superb colour and I even like your Ullswater boathouse shot. Because I've seen it so many times in camera club competitions and Northern Counties Photographic Federation exhibitions its an image that normnally pass by quickly. But your version is one of the best I've ever seen.

Have you not seen the Steam Bus.

I was thinking on the lines of the steam powered wheelchair the villain had in Wild Wild West but I don't think I'd like the ride over the cobbles

Anyway, Arthritis is well on the mend and I can always incorporate a walking stick into Steampunk attire.

We'll miss you this year Barrie, have you booked for April yet, do you know the dates?

I want to grab the shot of you in the steam wheelchair negotiating the long steps.

East Lancs Atmospherics

Here's one from Bury taken last winter Cliff.
I plan to be there on Sunday October 21 and Barrie Forbes says he's coming along too.

Surreal #3 for me David. I'll have to pay a visit sometime

Check first. I visited around a month ago and sections, like the glass blowing demonstrations, were closed for refurbishment.

I was there just a few days ago and got these shots. If you go now Sunderland Photographic Association have a centenary print exhibition on show.

Yes Alan. Its a large sculpture, made from glass obviously, which was commisioned when the Glass Centre was new. It stands outside the entrance and looks great on sunny days with the light behind it showing its translucence.
The craftsman working with the flame jet (notice he has no protective gloves) was making a tiny model of the Angel of The North. That's a wing he's busy with.
