Andrew, I saw this the first time you posted it and it really struck me as your other wide angle images, too. Very impressive. I think you have a keeper here. You get great results with your Sigma WA. Additionally, I value the subjects that you tackle with your WA. You use it in a more creative way than I typically do - so I appreciate the things I can glean from your perspective. - It's very obvious you are very adept and get great performance out of your equipment.

A B&W version of this would be absolutely timeless. No distractions anywhere, just a beautiful piece of finely tuned machinery and it's everyday surroundings. Don't get me wrong, the color in this shot is top notch. I'm just saying that if it were B&W, it could have been taken 60+ years ago and nobody would know any better.

This whole series was great. It must have been tough for Carl and Eric to choose one.

Hi all,

Well what can I say? Thanks to Eric and Carl for featuring it, I am truly honoured.

Photoman, yes I think the image would look very nice in mono. I shall have to go back and see what results I get. I agree that it would make it even more timeless a photo. Royston, tanks for your comments.

Cheers
Andrew

of post work did you do on this to help get these results?

Thanks,
Hapster

Excellent photo. I think that the dynamic range and depth give it a 3D look.

Hi Ovlov and Hapster.

Thank you both for your kind words!

Hapster: I didn't do too much to the image, although I combined 3 exposures together in Photomatix Pro to get an HDR image. I deliberately kept the adjustments subtle so that I got a reasonably natural result- I wanted to avoid an image that screams HDR!!!

Have a look at my Duxford thread, I'm sure I went into more detail there.

Cheers
Andrew
