Smokey Joe

02/10/2023 Bob McEvoy

Hornby’s ‘SMOKEY JOE’ locomotive. Introduced by Hornby in 1983, this OO Gauge model represents the small shunters in the The Caledonian Railway 264 class. They were 0-4-0 saddle tank locomotives designed by Dugald Drummond and built by Neilson and Company in 1885, later built at St Rollox Works, up to 1902. I’ve owned this one for a long number of years, probably around 30 years or more.

I photographed it under studio lighting (2 Elinchrom heads) with the Fujifilm X-T3. Post-capture RAW conversion in Photoshop.

The long closed Glarryford Station on the NIR line between Cullybackey and Ballymoney. The station was opened on 1st July 1856 by the then Ballymena, Ballymoney, Coleraine and Portrush Junction Railway, and was in operation until it was closed 2 July 1973.

Nighttime Dublin 2012

31/08/2023 Bob McEvoy

This shot was part of a commercial shoot, back in 2012, to illustrate lighting facilities on railway platforms. It was originally shot in colour, and with a much wider angle, but to satisfy my black and white obsession, and to focus more upon the people in the shot rather than the original commission, I desaturated it in Photoshop (actually in Camera Raw) and cropped the image to achieve a more people orientated image. Did it work?

Photographed with a Nikon F700, F=24mm, f/16 @ 1 second exposure, on ISO3200. The camera was on a tripod.

Royal Enfield Classic 350

30/08/2023 Bob McEvoy

A modern classic

I found this 2022 built motorcycle parked in Belfast today, – and I was transported back in my mind to the early 1970’s when I rode a Royal Enfield, – not dissimilar in style and shape to this beauty.
