Thomas in Reverse

I didn't like his blurry face going forwards so in this one I pulled him backwards. I do have the rest of the picture that could go in this but thought I'd try a crop.

Talk about your indecision Mary. I have more in/out takes than you.

Thomas is Worried

He thinks the bend is coming up too soon after the bridge and hopes there will not be a derailment.

Forgot to say that apart from the first one the rest were all done after Hannah went to bed on self timer with me pushing. I wanted his face to show so left him still for about half the exposure time of 8 seconds then pushed very slowly.

Thomas on Top

Thomas made it to the top of the bridge pulling all the carriages.

Thomas applies the brakes


We had to have a lot of carriages so that you could not see anybody pushing them along.

Thomas on the Viaduct

This was one of the first before I had set up the scenery below. Hannah just pushed this.

MOTION BLUR Faster

I am not happy with where the tree is right behind his wrist. I had a wee go at removing it but it wasn't good enough and I decided it was probably not worth the time spent anyway.

Alec bought this gocart with money he has been saving up from birthdays over a few years.

MOTION BLUR Daffs


This was a zoom in or out with a long exposure of 8/1 which I suppose means 1 eigth of a sec and f29.

Still trying with this one!

MOTION BLUR Determination

Alec is determined not to let a girl pass him.

Just a pan really but a bit of motion in his foot

MOTION BLUR Duck Splash


Definitely an outtake

MOTION BLUR Last leaves holding on


This was hand held camera movement plus tweaking the levels . The only one to even call an outtake! Kind of weird!

Thomas in a Hurry Again

Had another go with Thomas while I was babysitting last night. Then I put the red background in instead of the brick wall.
