Title: Stylised pictures - but taken where? Post by: grahame on September 26, 2009, 08:12:38 Here are some images that I have filtered to turn into interesting 'art pieces' ;D . The first one is of my local station at Melksham, but can you work out where I was when I took the others?
(http://www.wellho.net/pix/edge0.jpg) That was Melksham. Now work out 1. (http://www.wellho.net/pix/edge1.jpg) 2. (http://www.wellho.net/pix/edge2.jpg) 3. (http://www.wellho.net/pix/edge3.jpg) 4. (http://www.wellho.net/pix/edge4.jpg) 5. (http://www.wellho.net/pix/edge5.jpg) 6. (http://www.wellho.net/pix/edge6.jpg) One each ... please (at least for the first couple of hours!)

Title: Re: Stylised pictures - but taken where? Post by: John R on September 26, 2009, 09:23:50 1. Redland 2. Cardiff Central 3. - 4. London Paddington 5. Bristol Temple Meads 6. Clifton Down So much for "one each please" >:( Title: Re: Stylised pictures - but taken where? Post by: grahame on September 26, 2009, 09:39:48 Number 1 is *not* Redland ... Number 2 is *not* Cardiff Central ... all of the others are correctly identified.
I *did* come back and edit the post to add "one each please" within the three minutes (?) that our software allows after the initial post without it adding a "this post has been edited" flag, so I suspect that Rick had seen it very quickly and was busy researching answers ... Title: Re: Stylised pictures - but taken where? Post by: Chris from Nailsea on September 26, 2009, 12:53:55 Is 1. Chippenham?
(If it is, it's a lucky guess!) :-[ Title: Re: Stylised pictures - but taken where? Post by: grahame on September 26, 2009, 13:04:18 Is 1. Chippenham? (If it is, it's a lucky guess!) :-[ I'm sorry - number 1 is not Chippenham ... though you're close in two ways! Title: Re: Stylised pictures - but taken where? Post by: inspector_blakey on September 27, 2009, 03:08:31 Is 1 Kemble? That water tower in the background looks a bit familiar.
Title: Re: Stylised pictures - but taken where? Post by: JayMac on September 27, 2009, 03:39:55 Is 1. Chippenham? (If it is, it's a lucky guess!) :-[ I'm sorry - number 1 is not Chippenham ... though you're close in two ways! No. 2 is Chippenham. So, close in the sense that it's the next picture and the next station down! Title: Re: Stylised pictures - but taken where? Post by: grahame on September 27, 2009, 07:13:53 Spot one ... picture 1 was is at Kemble, and picture 2 at Chippenham
How about this one as a bonus ... (http://www.wellho.net/pix/nightedge.jpg) Title: Re: Stylised pictures - but taken where? Post by: JayMac on September 27, 2009, 12:58:56 Bonus pic: Southampton Central? (Just a wild guess based on the evidence of a third-rail)
Oh, and can we see the originals once the bonus is guessed? Title: Re: Stylised pictures - but taken where? Post by: grahame on September 27, 2009, 14:09:43 Bonus pic: Southampton Central? (Just a wild guess based on the evidence of a third-rail) Oh, and can we see the originals once the bonus is guessed? Hmmm .... that isn't actually a third rail ... Not Southampton (nor Northampton either ;) ) I'll have to hunt around for the originals. I'm sure I have them *somewhere* ... Title: Re: Stylised pictures - but taken where? Post by: devon_metro on September 27, 2009, 14:51:42 Looks like Reading platform 4 to me
Title: Re: Stylised pictures - but taken where? Post by: grahame on September 27, 2009, 15:55:15 Looks like Reading platform 4 to me It is indeed Reading ... you're spot on with that. I thought it was taken across FROM platform 4, but it's very likely I had my diagonal wrong (and was suffering slipped memory) ... it probably is a picture or platform four, with passengers from Basingstoke of Newbury dashing along to catch the London connection. Title: Re: Stylised pictures - but taken where? Post by: JayMac on September 28, 2009, 01:43:49 It was obviously to heavily stylised for me, Graham. But in fairness it does look like there is evidence of ceramic insulators and a third rail!

The only thing I did differently this time was NOT to apply the "glowing edges" filter in Photoshop (my croppingv is manual / may be slighly varied). Yes - it did look very third rail, I agree, but nothing was done to maniplulate individual photo components. Title: Re: Stylised pictures - but taken where? Post by: DevonTrains2008 on November 02, 2009, 20:48:39 Is photo 1 a SWT train?
Title: Re: Stylised pictures - but taken where? Post by: grahame on November 03, 2009, 09:46:27 Is photo 1 a SWT train? Yep, the Melksham sample is a South West Trains picture (on hire to FGW) Title: Re: Stylised pictures - but taken where? Post by: DevonTrains2008 on November 04, 2009, 17:15:33 Thought so. ;D
