It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

I prefer the second - the composition and detail are more appealing.

I'd love to visit this place, Kris... Nice detailed shots, although it's comforting to see blown highlights from an old fashioned negative. Perhaps I'd better stop moaning about the narrow dynamic range of my sensor...
Best wishes,

Andrew

And from the thread title I was thinking you'd been to the Crich Tramway Museum, Kris! Should have known it would be somewhere a bit more interesting. What a find these old relics are. I hope they'll be saved from completely rotting away although it's great to see the hand of time on them.
