Welcome
Hello and welcome
I will be building a collection of some of the best of the my digital railway photographs in this gallery, taken from June, 2006, as and when time allows. When I get this digital collection up to date I will start another collection of older images of scanned slides & negatives. Hope you enjoy the photo's and thanks for looking.
About Me
I have been interested in railways since about the age of 13 (50 years ago !) Like many others I drifted away from the hobby and returned later. I enjoy taking photographs of the railway scene, and am always looking to improve my photography and for good quality, well composed images.
My first digital camera was a Canon 350d & I now use a Canon 450d. I have various lenses but mostly use a Sigma 18-200 superzoom. I also have a standard 50mm f1.8 for bad light shooting.

Location:Mansfield

My photography
Nowadays most of my photographs are taken locally, in or around Nottinghamshire. I like to visit locations that are not often photographed, although I do sometimes visit busier, & more popular locations. I also like to visit heritage railways.I am always on the lookout for new locations & like to capture the scene, whatever the weather, or time of year.
If you see any mistakes in the captions of my photographs, or can add any details to any, then please feel free to contact me. Contact details below.
Hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoy taking them. Comment welcome.
