Welcome t'forum, some nice phots there!

Liking the 165/166/168 collection(local units to me) and the aviation stuff...not bad for someone who claims not to be a spotter!

 

[Stacey]

Glad you like the shots in that collection, I'm hoping that ordering them into classes does help!
- and well.. aviation wise I'm sure it's got something to do with a mate of mine getting me into it! lol - I'll admit I do have an interest albeit after railways and buses as I don't specifically spot them yet(!) - although an airport cranking trip has been thought of! ...it can only go down hill from there!! lol

Hey Stacey, welcome to the forum!

Some great shots there, and you went on the West Highland Charter last month?! Lucky you!!!!

 

[Ilove165's]

...it can only go down hill from there!! lol

Oh believe me, it does

 

[Stacey]

Yeah it [highland tour] was really good! ...yes we got a fair amount of yinging but I enjoyed it a lot, had a lot of mates on board as we were all in the enthusiast's coach so really enjoyable - and we did get the tractors where it mattered!

Speaking as a male rail enthusiast approaching my mid 20s fast!, it's rare enough to find female rail enthusiasts of any age and it's even rarer to find female rail enthusiasts between 18 and 29.

So from a fairly new member to another, welcome

I must warn you though and this applies to all, I do like acquiring images which I really think are great and do show them off to colleagues.

So I end up enjoying them and 2. I end up promoting your sites so a win win for all.

 

[Stacey]

That seems fair enough; if you're saying who the pics are composed by (as it were) then site hits are always good!
- and yes, I'm in a rare category I suppose with rail enthusiasm as I'm nearly 22! lol

Had a look at your site as well, got some nice bits on there too

 

[devon_metro]

Yeh nice photos, nice to see somebody from Devon too. Believe we've met a number of times.

 

[37401]

Lol, thanks!

[Stacey]

Ah you got that then? Cool, I've been at work!! I'm going to Swanage tomorrow, hoping for nice weather!! Was lovely last year, got some nice pics, just hoping for a re-run; and then, finally an update to the site!!!

 

[CraigS]

Nice site with some nice shots, I especially like this and this

Welcome to the forum by the way.

I've bookmarked a few sites on the office pc for my colleagues to look at the last few weeks but the only trouble, Fotopic is now a illegal site to look at and is now blocked by the web software that my company uses,

I do get favourable comments about the sites from everyone so please keep at it.

Also with your nearly 22, I'm nearly 25 but can still pass quite easily for a 14 or 15 yr old as I found out when I got refused service at a London pub the other day and got charged a child fare on a local bus service!

Believe me, there is no one who can guess my age first time correctly when they first see me.

 

[Stacey]

Welcome to the forum by the way.

Thanks for that!! - Both of those shots were lucky for me tbh! Firstly with Wychnor, I took a trip up to the Midlands to get it in and Crownthorpe at the MNR was lucky with the light - funnily enough, both of those fots were down to getting a mate of mine (a Railforum regular lol) [Ferret] to drive as I don't!!!
They were really nice shots though and I was really lucky to get the light and locations!!
Thanks for the comments though!!

[Stacey]

Thanks for that - yeah that 60 was hell!! Pity couldn't get to a lineside location for it tbh but it clagging up like that was ace!!

I just wish something decent would come when i go! All i see is damned voyagers etc :roll:!

 

[Phoenix]

Welcome to the forum hope you enjoy it!!!

It's good to see a woman photographer it's defiantly something there should be more of and I can say that you defiantly know how to take a good shot and it was very enjoyable looking at your shots and the sheer amount of photos is impressive.

Keep up for the good work.....

 

[Stacey]

Thanks for your comments there! Been at my fotopic for a few years so have built up a heck of a lot. It started out in Cornwall but upon shifting up to Devon I've got about a bit...!
Hope to add my Swanage pics tomorrow, probably drop a new thread in too - got some sunny fots to add!
