Dolly Redux
Personal snapping styles tend to change over the years and, when I started to seriously take up railway photography again in 2012/2013, I took on a more arty approach focusing on colour patterns and shapes. Since then I've lapsed into a style that tries to capture the railway in its environment - at least for the most part, sometimes successfully and sometimes not.
A visit to the GCR Gala Weekend in January 2013 resulted in a set of images that were almost all 'arty' in style - again some reasonably successful and some outright failures. This one has long been a favourite so I thought I'd share it again to see whether it gets any different reaction this time around. Depending how this one goes down I might, or might not(!), share one or two others.
Original commentary
Have to own up to posting a shot of these dollies before but possibly prefer this different angle. I was keen to get the round-roofed hut in the frame which, I think, provides a bit more substance to the steam-era theme. No apologies for doing "the treatment" thing.
Taken at the GCR Gala Weekend, Loughborough.
