Settle Station

[Ryewolf]

I did want a shot from further down the platform to get the buildings in on that side as well, but there was a whacking great yellow crane that was just out of shot on the left. The hill you can see is Pen-y-ghent.

I do like no. 1, the 2nd might benefit from a train, although the chap on the bench does help.

I think a lot of folk in the country would echo your sentiments  regarding seeing a train in a station today Phil ....  

Its a few years since I was on that station Rye... but #1 captures  an era of steam trains cleverly without a puff of steam in sight ... really nicely presented and crisp as a cracker ...  very nice indeed. 

[Ryewolf]

Thanks Phil and Clicker, I was hoping a train might go through, but they only run every two hours or so on a Sunday. The Flying Scotsman will be coming through here tomorrow - though I suspect it will be a lot busier....

Lovely architecture on those old stations, train or no train, the picture is a good 'un!

[Ryewolf]

Thanks Denis.

Oh yes, number2 is just amazing stuff. Takes me back to my childhood.

[Ryewolf]

Thanks Mike.

I like number 1, nice composition

 

[Ryewolf]

Thanks Stravinsky, I was hoping for a lot wider shots for both of these but there was a whacking great yellow crane just off to the left....

[Stravinsky]

Cranes!  Tell me about it, just returned from Ghent and there were cranes all over the city.  A lot of photoshopping has been involved  

[Ryewolf]

To be honest I try and compose my shot around them rather than doing a lot of editing afterwards...

Unfortunately that wasnt possible in Ghent, as there were so many of them. If you look at the Ghent shot I put up, there was one slap bang in the middle

You did well, I see no cranes.... When absolutely necessary I will do some cloning out and editing - there was a bit of crane in the first image, not a lot just enough to intrude slightly - it was just 50-60pixels though.
