Bletchley Park
This was Challenge 552. Steve thought I used a different station but this is Bletchley Park around 1944. Seated front left is Alan Turing with an Enigma machine. Behind him a spy with a Minox and 2 lady spies |

Re: Bletchley Park
Deceptively simple and very believable Ben. I remember that Bletchley Park picture well from my researches for the same challenge. Yes it's real! I tried hard, but couldn't get it to work for what I wanted. I cobbled bits and pieces together to create an entirely fictional station as a setting for Benedict Cumberbatch who played Turing in the TV movie about him. ('Cos it's movie based, although they're far too small to see here, I also added Trevor Howard and Celia Johnson having a Brief Encounter in the window behind the sandbags.)  _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Re: Bletchley Park
Very convincing, Ben. Turing is a little too big, but the main issue there is that he's been photographed close up: from this distance his legs should be a lot smaller. |

Re: Bletchley Park
It's one of those things that's so obvious once pointed out. But I missed it completely without your prompting. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Re: Bletchley Park
Very obvious now you mention it. I never noticed. Thanks Steve. |
