As so often white balance was a major issue with some layouts - to the degree it was noticeable with the naked eye and not just the camera sensor. Tony's line was a challenge with the amount of shadow at the front. In an ideal world I would probably have merged a couple of exposures to cope with the dynamic range.<br />James Finisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16351798531269786632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8015792618471574238.post-87999872564911699912016-11-18T02:49:56.586-08:002016-11-18T02:49:56.586-08:00A great set of photos, which I spotted on Flickr. ...A great set of photos, which I spotted on Flickr. You have more than done justice to the show. I wish I had seen Tony Hill's 16mm slate mill layout, I like "Rough Pup" and that could well be Pen Garret!Iain Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633733907566547236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8015792618471574238.post-22106092201333924472016-11-14T01:45:43.011-08:002016-11-14T01:45:43.011-08:00Oh I automatically tune out of modern image and N ...Oh I automatically tune out of modern image and N gauge, as I also do with OO9 which I hate.

I know Fen Drove is popular, for instance, but struggled to enjoy it.<br /><br />Once again there were too many N gauge layouts with visible tight radius curves, and too many modern image layouts with bright light everywhere despite it being daylight.<br /><br /><br />James Finisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16351798531269786632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8015792618471574238.post-53819683734432825522016-11-13T04:20:17.659-08:002016-11-13T04:20:17.659-08:00Damn and blast!

I really enjoyed the last Spalding show I went to and The Gravetts were there too, with Ditchling Green, a much better layout than Pempoul, a scene I find about as interesting as any run down French village. But the rest of those layouts looked to be a cut above the rest usually seen at a show these days. And it's one show I can get to without too much fuss. Damn, damn, damn! Sometimes there is a good reason NOT to be kicked off forums.....but only sometimes!Oddshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15406048947308249483noreply@blogger.com
