Default Newbie showing a couple of pics!

Hi, I am new to this forum but from what I have seen so far I could be spending a lot of time here! I came across the forum completely by accident as I have been asked to do a friends wedding next year, and I was looking for advice. So far I have found the site full of very useful information.

Anyhow these are a few shots I took at the Bluebell Railway earlier this year. The only post processing I have performedon the first two in Photoshop is to make them slightly more browned than originally was taken. The last two have been converted to black and white with a brown tint

I have been taking allsorts of photos for many years but have never shown anybody other than family before so please be gentle!!

The "atmosphere" of the second one is great. I really like the last one, too... composition and lighting all seem bang on. Except for the clarity, you'd think they were from the appropriate era.

Thanks for sharing.
