Johnb antwortete auf das Thema 35025 Brocklebank Line.
My connection with MNLPS took a long time, I spent a lot of time in 66/7 travelling on and photographing what was the last steam main line and often had the financial misfortune to encounter someone from MNLPS shaking a collecting tin . I don't...

Agree with every word of that Scot. Even in film days an image was only an approximation of what the eye saw, a transparency on Agfa film looked different to the same scene using Kodak. Having said that looking at some of the pictures taken in...

Even before Photoshop !. I have a book by Les Nixon in which he describes adding exhaust to a shot of 4498 which had none using a second negative of a completely different loco. The darkroom process was never just one of always giving the same...

I feel like this is great news, and I hope that the feeling from inside the organisations involved is similar! I do hope that 35025 does return to the mainline, I have memories of seeing her at Loughborough when I was younger and thinking that...

I hope your post and communications with MNLPS members will reassure people such as such as @Steamage (See his post #309). He has raised some perfectly valid points - to which I could add the issue of support crews if both 35025 and 35028 were...

Please do be patient with us as we work out the details. I have noted my inbox and responded as best I can but have and will continue to refer people to the press statement above and to refer to our communications officer. Please do not reach...

Yes, but some people, myself included, try to correct this and present the world as it really was. People have been stealing from each other since time began but that doesn't make it right, We learn from the past. We can't do that if the past is...

It seems to have provoked a bit of a discussion and I think it’s important. I sometimes get my images published and it does seem unfair that in future those of us who are honest about what we submit may have work rejected in favour of those who...

The difference is that it was you who did it. This is rather like claiming a new world marathon record by driving it in a car.,

I’ve used AI frequently after we moved house to visualise what various building and decorating options might look like. It’s been really useful in conveying to the Management why my schemes are superior. Here’s a simple one I did today, after...

I didn’t spot the change in the valve gear, that’s a bit odd. The light behind the cylinder is wrong but I was impressed that it’s intelligent enough to know that there would be light in the cab from an open firehole door.

Exactly, it means that in future photographic evidence will no longer be reliable. Mine will be as I’ve no intention of subscribing to any fakeograpy software.

The problem is you can no longer believe what you see. Which is particularly an issue if people are relying on photos as a source of historical truth. For example, taken at face value, @Johnb has changed a tour that happened during the day to one...

I recently saw a great picture of a train taken during the eclipse, the photographer had the skill to get the exposure and post capture editing spot on. AI means that anyone can sit in front of their computer and by typing a few instructions...
