Passing Landscapes, 100mph

[Rob MacKillop]

Went with the girls to Newcastle today..took some shots from the train. I've been busy with music this last month, and haven't had much time to contribute here, and haven't taken many images at all until today. These are digital, but I have some film ones as well...for later, perhaps.

So, Fuji XE-1, 18-55mm, Auld Nik - Glamour Glow and Polaroid Transfer

Was thinking of ECM album covers...(should you know what they are) ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Pat_Metheny_-_Bright_Size_Life.jpg

I absolutely love these Rob. They really capture the feeling of scenes seen fleetingly. Brilliant.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Pete. Appreciated. I was, of course, remembering your dirty-window shot from a train...

 

[Pete Askew]

I noticed your use of the patented dirty window filter but decided not to mention it!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Oh, I've got some really dirty ones awaiting editing...

 

[Beth Carter]

did you have any new castle brown while you were there?

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Love the way that first one came out - those colors in the final image, the feeling of movement

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Beth - not a drop. I'm a coffee addict only.

Chris - thanks. I am pleasantly surprised by these too. A strong element of luck is involved when you are travelling at over 100 mph!

 

[Dan Cattermole]

The PP has got your signature all over them Rob, brilliant

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Dan.

 

[Paul Lange]

These are wonderful Rob they have a real sense of speed and isolation.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Paul. The Borders area between Scotland and England can have a sense of isolation, here and there. I should get off the train and go walkabout...

 

[Glenn Clabo]

Absolutely wonderful Rob. The blur of speed...the colors...it's all there. That first one is just perfect IMHO.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Much appreciated, Glenn!
