Default Vintage Street Scene

Photographers Comments
Parked outside the cinema in Glasgow, with the trains running over-head - last week!

No, i havent found a time machine. This street (with cinema, shops, underground station, bank, etc) is actually inside Glasgows Museum of Transport.

Nice low angle in use here. Could be worth taking the time to mask out the beams you can see overhead which I'm assuming are part of the structure somehow.. maybe drop in a sky of some kind.. keep it dark though.

The beams are there to replicate the underside of a railway bridge that the shops were built under, similar to part of Argyle Street in Glasgow.

Very clever and taken from an unusual angle.

No problem, Steve!

Its difficult to make everthing out in a photograph, but the 'set' is actually very clever.

I could imagine taxis plying for hire from this street;waiting for the train comuters.

Nice angle nothing needs changing.
