Thick fog and rain and no chance to get outdoors with the camera. So decided to got the the National Rail Museum in York yesterday as it is 'camera friendly' and they even encourage you to post your photographs on their site.

I am not a huge train fan unless they are billowing steam and have the North Yorks Moors in the background - so found this one a bit challenging.

Anyway see what you think - have tried for some less than obvious shots - as always C+C welcome.

All taken on K20D and either the Sigma 10-20 or Sigma 105 Macro

regards
Carl

Looking at these has got me looking for an excuse to visit York again as I find it a photographers paradise for history ancient and more modern.

I absolutely love your framing, use of DoF and sharpness of the last three abstract images. Expertly captured!

First wheels shot is very good, excellent set, did you use a tripod?

Wheels stand out for me, in particular No1. I'll hazard a guess this was taken with the macro: Also a good photo for the weekly comp I think

Nice lighting on the wheel and the motion, but I also like the streamlined Duchess shot which makes an effective pairing with that car.
Best wishes,

Andrew

Lovely set

Wheels 1 gets my vote but face the rear is interesting and I like the low angles used in some of the shots
