Across The Tracks

[Rob MacKillop]

DP0Q. At the base of Edinburgh Castle.

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

like this a lot Rob. It actually has more content than I could possible understand which is a good thing in my eyes. A something not quite explanatory, if that makes sense.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I know what you mean, Julian. It's an odd image, the tensions, the message. Luckily I didn't have time to think about it, just clicked the train as it was passing, and tried to frame it within one second. Sometimes it's better not to think.

 

[Pete Askew]

Brilliant composition. Like a scene from some gritty biopic.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I can see that, yes. A young Sean Connery, perhaps...

 

[Pete Askew]

With cap on head and hands in pockets. Definitely.

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Sometimes it's better not to think.

Thinking? what's that

 

[Rob MacKillop]

It's what people in England haven't been doing! Lucky I live in Scotland, and you in an independent Cornwall

An independent Cornwall id becoming more appealing. On second thoughts they and I mean they voted us out

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Come live in Scotland. The First Minister has welcomed aliens

Come live in Scotland. The First Minister has welcomed aliens

Far to cold for me Rob, I'd rather go south if I chose, nothing to do with the inhabitants of course, they all all appeared quite nice and sane, I even met a few kind people building a submarine out of a rusty bath tub looking for a monster in a Loch

 

[Martin Carlin]

Like this Rob is this a cutting think the title should be up or down the tracks

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Not sure what a cutting is, Martin. Across the tracks refers to the graves, and across the great divide between the living and the dead

When did you ever?

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

When did you ever?

Thankfully I cannot understand what some say

 

[Aldous Lau]

Apart from the B&W tones, I can't explain the reason but I just love this image Rob

 

[Martin Carlin]

Not sure what a cutting is,

The Cutting i was referring too was the railway also the tracks i thought you was referring to in your title. I see now you were referring to the Headstones. As Pete mentioned there are a lot of different elements in this shot and we are all drawn to different aspects which makes a great photo

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, lads. The extra-wide angle lens working well here.

 

[Brian Moore]

The more I look at this image, Rob, the more I like it. In particular I like the way the train and the wa' foally each other.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Brian. It took me ages to build that wa'. Commitment!
