Originally posted by Damn Brit Nice series Mike, my favourite is the second one, all the elements come together to make the shot.
If I had been taking that first shot, I would probably have been further away and lower down, more on a level with the rail. It would have given more of that vanishing point effect even with the train there.
Gary,
thanks so much for the suggestion. I actually had my head on the rail itself and the camera was just a few inches above it - probably because the 50mm is a bit long, it doesn't quite appear that way. Had i brought the 16-45mm however, i could have caught that effect.
