Balcombe Viaduct

Paulie-W · 16-11-2009, 5:59 PM

From Sunday.

Few more to follow, usual stuff etc, and some from the Bluebell Railway.

Vignette added....

I'll have a go at removing the pole tonight.

Well that wasn't easy.

Nice shot & PP Paulie...maybe crop out the telephone pole which would leave the majesty and perspective of the viaduct (just a suggestion...).

Really nice shot.

Agree with AVTEZ, shot would look better if you removed the pole in Photoshop.

Just a suggestion.

Still a nice shot.

Thanks guys.

The pole has been mentioned before, but as I don't have the skills to clone it out, I'm not too sure about cropping. Personally I wasn't too fussed about it as it's an old pole.

I don't mind the pole as it is not one a modern design, but I would try and get rid of the flare spots

Splendid shot and pp. I agree on the telephone pole comments as well.great shot other than the telephone pole. My eye keeps moving to the telephone pole.

Re the pole...............

I'll have a go at removing it, but don't hold your hopes up guys

Re - pole.

I dunno.

I think it could actually add a little more if it weren't as close to the edge.
It kinda suits the age, what with the mono and railway viaduct.
Stick a bit of vignette on it and it'll look proper vintage.

It is <quote>canny</unquote>

Cant do much about moving the pole, as the shot isn't cropped at all (for once). Typical

Might have a look into the vignette though, good idea. Now i got to go find out how to do that .....

Got there in the end though.
