OOH NICE

 

[matthew]

Think this is my new favourite place to photograph

 

[matthew]

Been a bit chilly today, but trains have been run after quite a bit of connection problems

 

[matthew]

Just a couple of photographs from today's lovely weather...

Also managed to install the glass roofed passenger shelter onto the station today, which then meant we could fit the station lamps in place...i just forgot to photograph this part. All in due course

I think it's more about selective shots I've been trying to use the proper camera for some better pictures rather than my phone, but can't get them on the computer :thumbdown:

Well in between showers today i just finished wiring up the station and building lights, and also the GRS station canopy has been finished. It's holding up to the persistant rain so far

Looks good....

Ballast is from B&Q, alpine green. Think it's 5mm chippings although it's only available in the smal bags.

Been attempting to take some night shots earlier, with great difficulty, but from about 60 photos i managed to get these few decent(for me) ones.

 

[mike]

night time shots are buggers to get right, looking good matt

 

[Tony]

Obviously apeture settings help but a decent tripod will go a long way..if not if your cam has a timer then take them with that and the cam on something solid

I got the best pics when i made a make shift tripod yes, although i only used the preset night time settings rather than messing around with the appeture/ISO settings. I did a few weeks working with a professional photography company and learnt all about it, i just presume it didn't sink in quite far enough

What have you used to make the station platform with?

 

[matthew]

What have you used to make the station platform with?

Station is 19mm MDF covered in a roll of cheap felt (cheap because of it having the finest grain) and right angle pvc for the front edge

Been a while since pictures have been posted, mixture of no internet and no laptop, but heres a couple from the other day. Little bit of work has also been done which will put up later. Also got the good camera back from repairs after being out of use for a year or more so should be able to take some better quality pics today
