Re: A Quiet Sunday
Thanks all for the nice comments, sometimes I spend more time taking photos than running trains. My own little Utopian world.

Re: A Quiet Sunday
Nothing wrong with that. Just remember to keep including trains!

Re: A Quiet Sunday
A couple of Spring Scenery pics. from the first steam up this year.
The shire have graded the roads, and it's Saturday morning.
New season spuds are on sale, along with freshly delivered flour from the mill.

PS really miss the shade of those trees, don't know how summer will go for pics.

Re: A Quiet Sunday
They look really good Grant. Nice clean sharp photos. Thank goodness for your work, in my opinion, you capture the scene perfectly, you could easily pass for a professional photographer.

Re: A Quiet Sunday
In think the slightly bleached look from the strong sunlight chimes with my idea of how an Australian rural community might appear. That's not based on experience (yet), but just a sort of gut feeling.

Re: A Quiet Sunday
Thanks for sharing these Grant.
I often think that the most difficult photos to make realistic are those with no rolling stock in them. I also think they are the often the very best when they work out. You've absolutely cracked it with these!

Re: A Quiet Sunday
Late afternoon, and nearly closing time. Paddy's tractor in for some work, and some petrol for a customer.
Deep in conversation in the afternoon sun.

Re: A Quiet Sunday
I have to say that I agree with Rik, your exposure on these photos really speaks 'hot Australian outback' to me. Despite showing the 'glaring heat', the exposure is just right, imo.
