Trainspotter Ziggy

Post by ziggyshadowdust »

My camera had hundreds of photo's on it. Lots of them contained photo's of trains and big buildings. I then lost the cable for the camera so I wasn't able to see them on my computer screen let alone upload them, but GOOD NEWS! I found the cable and now I'm able to share my photos with you guys. :D

Here is a small selection of train photos from Northern Ireland to start off.

First one is my personal favourite

Nice set of shots there. The last phot in the thread is spoilt a bit by the huge water mark but nice photos all the same. :)

Nice shots Ziggy,nice to see your'claggier version of the 150! Just a question,could you put that watermark smaller in the corner or something? It spoils your shots!

Cheers,
Mark

I agree about the watermark. I suppose I could add my own watermark instead of using deviantART's. Stand by.

How about this? Have I put the right things on this?

Those are some nice pics. Its a bit of a shame the water mark messes them up.

Apologies for that. The next set of photo's will come with my version of the watermark instead of dA's.

This one was just taken half an hour ago.

You could just use your website address as the watermark. It'd direct people towards your page if they were interested in finding more photographs from you, and you wouldn't ruin your collection by stamping your name all over it.

Great stuff Ziggy,have you thought about a Fotopic site,it would look even better,although you have now removed the watermark so it looks a lot better anyway!

That's an idea. Thought I like to keep my deviantART, but that could be for everything else outside public transport. :D
