We're on our traditional little break from art work in the New Year (that said, we've a few projects on the go at the moment). But, with it being Blue Monday, how about something British Rail Blue, from before Christmas?
I (Ben) wanted to get some reference shots of the BR Blue class 101 DMU at Damems, ready for a Hornby article later in the year.
I've a soft spot for 101's anyway thanks to a childhood model, but since it was repainted into blue I've been taking opportunities to go out photographing it, as it reminds me of growing up in the 1980's. The above shot illustrates the trouble of local photography in the low winter sun with the trees casting shadows...
Having tried this spot the other week, I clambered up the tree again for a shot of the 101 heading north.
Really happy with this shot, though shame about the chap leaning out the window.
Waiting at Damems...
...and trundling away.
I managed to get a 'pic of the day' on The Railway Centre.com with the elevated shot too.
Should be another post coming up soon on some published fine art work we've had in print.
