    but those same northern writers are also the most paranoid because of their steel habits. if you met one you wouldn't know it - they never let on that they have anything to do with graf. they also change their mobile phones every couple of months. i think writers painting clean trains in the US lead the same sort of life. i wouldn't have the guts to do it, and that probably goes for a lot of people, from all countries.

     

    i imagine the rewards for leading such a stressful life are nice though.

    hmm, check www.metropla.net (metroplanet), there are quite a lot of subways in europe. the bloody germans have about 7 to themselves. :mad:

     

    ...and of course that site doesn't include normal 'commuter trains', like the paris TER, copenhagen s-trains or british 'BRs' for example. every country has these too, and the systems are usually bigger than the subways.

     

    btw Europe that GMS (?) WT is off the fucking chart! :dazed:

    personally, aside from the sheer destructiveness of a wholetrain, i don't see the purpose of it. it comes down to me rather seeing 40 simples in a yard that will definitely overwhelm a system into running panels than trashing a single train that will most certainly run once right to the buff.

     

    come on, these are wholetrains. theres a couple on the stockholm subway in this thread - i know that you post in a lot of european steel threads so i'm sure you can appreciate what a mission that must have been, and to have daylight shots of it...:eek: even if it does run straight to the buff, thats some achievment.

     

    these are one-offs for most writers. one of the eight-car MOAS efforts that Europe posted on page one took 56 cans of silver, all paid for. they could have done 100 panels on most of the cars in the yard, and caught them running, but they do panels and throwies every week anyway.

     

    sorry i sound kind of patronising, its early in the morning and i can't phrase it any better. :D

    ...and the first time i ever used the london tube i saw four panels in one day (and a LOT of bombing). my friend from north london has seen just two in a lifetime of using it. its definitely all down to luck.

    i think cope2 realised this a long time ago. he's got subways, streets and legal walls in everything: wanted, graphotism, XG, stylefile, brain damage etc etc.

    nice to see another depressing US vs The World argument raging yet again. :rolleyes:

    MrScojangles: Alright, so on your camera, you have some switch or knob that you have to turn before it allows you to rewind the film, correct?

    antigregarious: yep

    MrScojangles: the thought is that when that is turned to allow it to rewind, the film can't move forward, so you "cock" your camera to take another picture while that is turned, which means the film isn't going to move, but the camera is ready to take another shot

    MrScojangles: which technically would be over the shot you just took

    MrScojangles: i'm not 100% sure that this would work, but in theory it should...i'm kinda planning on testing that theory soon

    antigregarious: hmm...if try to advance the film tho the reel's teeth are still in the film

    MrScojangles: hmmm

    MrScojangles: but when that rewind knob is turned doesn't it not allow it to move forward?

    antigregarious: i dunno i could test it out lol

    MrScojangles: like i said...it was just kinda a theory that might work

    antigregarious: lemme go get my cam

    MrScojangles: i think i'm going to grace 12oz with this conversation and see if anyone can back up or disprove my theory, or possibly tell me their ways of going about with double exposures

     

     

    Anyone?

     

    yes this method works with my camera, an olympus OM40. after i have taken the first shot i lift up the small rewind lever and take up the slack. while holding down the rewind button and keeping the lever in place, i 'cock' the shutter in the normal way but the film doesn't move. i then take the next shot or shots on top of the first, usually with disasterous results. :D

     

    fucking amazing thread by the way everyone. :cool:
