Wencombe /Kingsbridge Regis/Louville Lane

[JasonBz]

There is certainly a lot to like as Wencombe transforms into Kingsbridge Regis
I've often thought that those Metcalfe its look like a good place to start, as opposed to using them "as is"; so I will be interested to see how they end up.

Can I as what is the provenance of the white warehouse building with the fish vans along side it?

 

[Alan]

Hi Jason. I think the building you are referring to is the Cooperative fish market is a chopped about Walthers Cornerstone Kit "Grocery Distributor.

Whilst stuck in a slightly mojo less atmosphere I thought I'd post this couple of photos entitled:

"Waiting on a Sunny Day"





Personally I'm waiting to be picked up by mate SAD to take his layout Salmon Pastures to the Basildon show this weekend. If your around pay us a visit.

 

[Alan]

We had a great time at Basildon. SAD again picked up best layout in show.

 

[Alan]

SAD with the trophy, I must apologise about the photo but it had been a good weekend.

Looking good Alan, but that running-in board would look so much better if the "For Salcombe" lettering was in upper case too.


Regards

Dan

 

[Alan]

I agree Dan and one day I'll get round to doing it. Not quite sure what possessed me to write in lower case.

Nice portrait Alan! The last couple of pics look very nice indeed; I presume the Warship is the original class 42 release from the big B?

Cheers

[Alan]

Correct Simon and thanks for the compliment.

 

[Deleted member 1839]

It's more than well deserved Alan!

Correct Simon and thanks for the compliment.

As Simon says it's well deserved. The thing I always like with your photos is the lighting, the shadows, highlights and reflections just add to the atmosphere perfectly.

 

[Alan]

I am flattered. Thank you.

Very realistic pictures and modelling, great natural light too....top stuff!

Hi Alan

Adrian reflects my thoughts about the lighting. Is your layout set is a naturally lit room?

 

[Alan]

I hate to disappoint you all. The strong summer lighting in the last few photos is the one room light. a curly fluorescent energy saving bulb, coupled to my small Lumix DMC-FS30 way of handling low light (it seems to give itself a longish exposure). The room faces south but the curtains are always drawn. Occasionally the long exposure does not seem to work and I get an almost black picture. Other photos in the thread are taken with my Nikon D50 or the Lumix, sometimes with previously described room light and sometimes with that and the layout lights on which are placed at theback ok of the layout and are fluorescent tubes. I tend to use the Lumix in slightly awkward places as it is a much smaller camera than the Nikon and I can more easily what is taken through the screen at the back, where as with the Nikon I only have the view finder.

 

[Yorkshire Dave]

Ah ha... do you adjust the colour temperature in post processing?

I've found I've had to do this with my photographs taken in artificial light.

 

[Alan]

That depends on what it looks like. Sometimes it's OK other times I just hit Instant Fix, very occasionally I do have a play around. I almost always crop the photos. By the way the programme I do use is Adobe Photo De lux which came with my first digital camera, It is a very simple programme.

As a change from all these hydraulic photos, a Hall and a Manor
