Photos not used in
book
As we travelled to numerous great places and saw a great
variety of trains, cars, planes and ships it was extremely easy to take
thousands of photographs to be used in my book. Although I would have liked to
have added more to my book I felt that over 150 pages was more than enough
especially considering I had a deadline to ensure it was printed in time to be
handed in.
Some of the photographs which are shown below were easy to
discard as they did not turn out as well as I hoped. But with the advantage of
a digital EOS 60D SLA camera and multiple Sandisk 32Gb Extreme Pro SD cards I
was able to take a huge number of photographs to ensure I had sufficient images
for my book without having to return to take more shots. I would hate to image
the cost of developing rolls of film to ensure I had good photographs.
The images below did not turn out well for a number of
reasons but these are some of my thoughts. Image 2334 was too dark and I should
probably have used the large flash especially considering the dismal day with
bad light. Luckily this was located in Gloucester and we managed to return to
the ship another day when in the vicinity.
Image 2888 was not crisp and I could not photograph the rear
of the car. Image 3025 was a car cut in half at Heritage Motor Centre but each
half was too far apart to allow people to walk through. With a car in the
background that drew your eye it was rejected. Image 3568 was a train at the
National Railway Museum cut into sections to show how the train was built which
I initially thought about adding but I decided I wanted whole working trains.
Image 3970 I rejected as I did not want to create an
additional section on helicopters. Image 4249 showed a biplane with the one
wing stripped back to the frame which would have been included if I could have
taken one shot showing the whole aircraft. Image 4370 was the carcass of the
aeroplane but I rejected once I realised I wanted to show all parts of each
aircraft. Image 5414 showed a replica of the first plane to enter the Royal
Naval service but I decided I should use original aircraft.
Image 6480 I did not realise that I was unfortunately too
close and cut off part of the cabin and wheels. Image 6828 I rejected due to
the proximity of the diesel locomotive parked next to it. Image 7825 was taken
at the Blaenafon railway after the book was completed and did not want to add
additional pages or remove an existing section I spent time researching. If
only the trains started running earlier but at least I have some great
photographs for volume 2.
