The Leawarra Nayook Railway
Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
Thank you everyone for the glowing compliments
I'm really running out of new angles for pictures, so many are just the same thing on a different day. Hoping to boil some more water today.

Hi Grant,
The others have said it all. Don't worry about repetition, I'm sure everyone would be happy to see more shots from the same angles. I know I would for one!

Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
Last train before Christmas,
cleaned and hooked in their place on the bench . Floor swept, all shipshape.(till the wind blows again)
Merry Christmas from the staff and regulars of the LNR

PS notice how well the absorbent worked on the oil patches
A short pause at Warringine.
Then the boys had a clean up of the workshop, tools gathered from various parts of the workshop, cleaned and hooked in their place on the bench . Floor swept, all shipshape.(till the wind blows again)

Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
Obviuosly this is stunning modelling, it goes without saying, but full marks for the photography as well. Excellent angles, believable points of view and perfect depth of field. The “tell” that the photo is a model is often the last factor I feel.
I particularly like some of the points of view from the rear of the train, especially the brake van slowly disapearing up the line. Very evocative.
Real narrow gauge lines were often short, and had limited stock. There cannot be a single item of stock or site on the line that isn’t photographed on any heritage line, but people still travel to take photos of them. The advantage of an outdoor model is that the ambient light at least is always different.
Keep the pictures coming I say

Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
I'll echo that and add that the way you position your figures adds something to the storytelling in many of your pictures. I know you keep telling us that they are the same figures used over again, but I for one never notice.RylstonLight wrote: ↑Fri Dec 22, 2017 8:30 am Obviuosly this is stunning modelling, it goes without saying, but full marks for the photography as well.

Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
Limited rolling stock definitely. The local narrow gauge industrial line when I was a kid had an ancient Ruston, and two Hudson skips. Even the Leek and Manifold had, what, 2 locos, 4 carriages, one bogie van; two bogie flats; and seven transporters?

Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
Beautifully crafted dioramas. So many small details which contribute to the overall effect and as someone else has said, excellent photography. As I sit here in our 10th consecutive day of fog/mist and drizzle, I also envy your light! Merry Christmas!

Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
Thanks Phil, yes the light can be good, but it's starting to get so bright that the high contrast between shadow and sun makes photography quite hard. As you mentioned earlier, I am missing the shade that the large tee tree provided, the curve over Warringine Creek is now very brightly illuminated unless I get up early.
Merry Christmas to you too,
Grant.
