station old and new by peadar

station old and new

This is Bexley Station, on the Southeastern line out of London. It is largely unaltered from when it was built in 1866 (aside from the inevitable doors, street furniture and vending machine!). I have tried to "half and half" it by giving the left hand side a more sepia feel to try and recreate the feeling of the late 19th century. Not sure it's worked, though!!
Hi Peter, I like the sepia and I like the colour but I am not sure they work together. Good on you for trying

Great idea Peter, I can see what you were trying to do.

I like the two tones together, great shot!

Great shot. I like the old/new effect.

@sarahlth Thanks, Sarah.
@shellee Thank you, Shellie
@paintdipper @kwind Thanks, both. It's not quite how I imagined it in my mind when I was planning this, but maybe it's enough to make the point!

At first I thought you put on an ND filter from sideway. It sure looks something different. Wish there were more old fixtures in the sepia part. That would have been amazing. I liked the concept.

@quasi_virtuoso Thanks, Rachel.
@shuttertux Yes - I did try placing the sepia section on the right hand side to get more of the older architecture, but then there wasn't enough left on the left hand side to make the contrast effective. Anyway - it's all a learning exercise!!

The idea is very nice. I think that making a left side of the image monochrome can contribute even more for your cause.

@grishaz Yes, I think you're right. Maybe next time!!!
