Loads of brilliant photos there CraigS... Always difficult to get good photos with so many people milling about

I've also uploaded a whole pile of photos taken yesterday at the Bluebell 125

As always, thoughts, comments, points of technique, etc, etc are always most welcome.

Kind Regards

Thanks.

Your photo of Met 1 is the best in my opinion. Was difficult to get a photo of this loco as it wasn't in the best placed and all the people getting in the way. Nice selection of pic you have too haloatco.

The perennial problem with the Bluebell. Whenever they put something special on it's always too packed to get really good photographs. There's always someone doing something awkward with some bit of their anatomy. Some excellent results in the circumstances both of you.

Thanks Ron. You've got some great pics too.

Lovely photos from all concerned... We really should make an effort to get together for a coffee sometime at one of these events

I always find that a combination of long lenses, short lenses and a lot of patience helps at these sort of things... That and trying to find a new take on familiar shots as well

Great shot of the Voyager Ron.... Living in Guildford, I find it is about the only interesting thing (and that is used loosely) that arrives there other than the odd steam special.
