As promised, I went out for 4Z91 today. Before we come to that though I recall recently bemoaning my luck with 4L92 and the light always dipping as soon as it approached. Well, by some miracle I got it in sun today although not quite on the nose - http://www.ferret.fotopic.net/p59863120.html I really must venture north of Stafford and get a proper full sun, on the nose, decent shot of these babies:)

Anyway, the main attraction was 56312 today. As it approached it was cloudy and I thought the curse had struck again but to my surprise the sun poked through just in the nick of time to give this zoomed shot: http://www.ferret.fotopic.net/p59863127.html

Cracking pics Ferret - wish I could get some freight shots like that. Too much passenger stuff round here. Definite bonus when the sun comes out especially when you've been waiting for something specific.

Cheers folks. It's usually the sun going in at the vital moment rather than coming out so I'm well chuffed!

Your too kind but I aggre about going north of Stafford to get the 4L92 that working deserves nothing but 100% although your recent shots of it are just that!

Glad you like them Scott! I've added a few more from Monday's trip to Cathiron just now including:

http://www.ferret.fotopic.net/p59914142.html - 66702
http://www.ferret.fotopic.net/p59914161.html - 90044

One of these days I'll get a nice sunny shot of a green 90 - always seem to get the grey ones!

I dunno I think the Grey ones have got a certain something to them considering they still have the Cast arrows on them (well some do) but yeah sun is something im hoping for tomorrow for the Ped action.

Oh don't get me wrong, I like the grey ones but I'd like a few fots of the green ones too;)

Good luck with the sun tomorrow!
