More Trainspotting

[Char3105]

There was a steam Gala in Llangollen the other week and I went for a few days to shoot all them old / restored steam trains that were running. Some very rare ones were there. I am not really a train fan but the photographic opportunity just couldnt be missed. So you will be seeing a few shots of trains in the next couple of days lol.

Some more train images... some not quite as good as I would have them, but there we go. C+C very welcome xx

Great train photos Char!

Good stuff. I like the perspective of your third one - makes me think I can hear, smell and see it.

Nice shots Char, particularly the second two. I think the first would have been a lot stronger if the train didn't look like it was going up a cliff. Try rotating it 45deg clockwise and see what you think?

Very nice. i like the 3rd picture a lot-so clear and sharp.
Thanks for sharing these.

I really LOVE these photos. The old steam locomotives are awe inspiring. Thanks for sharing these.

Thanks for your suggestion Nathan. This shot was taken while the train was at the station. I could not get in there so had to shoot it on the bridge it was standing under. I leaned right across to get it. I personally like that shot as its out of the norm. I know what you mean though and it probably wont be for everyone, but I leave it as it is. thanks again for your great imput xxx
