Welcome
Welcome to "Dave's Rail Scenes"

Collections

All the latest photographs will first appear in the
"Latest" collection. They will remain there for approx one month. After which they will be moved into either an existing collection or form a new one.

Nostalgia

If you favour Class 52 Westerns the collection of scans taken during the 70's (Westerns, Hymeks, Warships.) may interest you. I make no excuse for including them, as Westerns have always been my favourate locomotive. Since bashing them during many summer holidays in Devon. You could say they left a lasting impression. I intend to update this section at some time in the future. Watch this space.....

Location's

The North West collections are constantly updated; as these are my local photting spots. All other collections are self explanatory, if not comments are welcome. Hope you enjoy them as much as have enjoyed taking them. All photographs are my own work, except of course the one of me !

Updates

If you wish to be notified each time I update the gallery. Please leave your email address in the
"Notify Me" box.

Equipment

To edit shots I use "Sony Imaging" softwear as I have found this to be the most user friendly way of editing files in their RAW format. The 70's and 80's shots have been taken with a Kodak Instamatic or a Practica 35mm SLR. From 2003 to 2008 I have used various digital camera's including, Olympus and KodaK. I am currently using a Sony Alpha digital SLR in conjunction with a Sony18-70mm standard zoom lens. Supplemented by a Tamron AF 28-200mm super zoom.

GEN

A big thanks to my mate Mike and all my other friends and forum members on DRS, NWRG, 67GEN,GENSHEET, RAILGEN, Class 57, 47 and FM.

Enjoy, Dave
