You should submit that last one to one of the steam railway mags. I am sure they would publish it.

Stunning set, and as the others have pointed out the last one is supreme!

Love them all Alan. I'm impressed at how 'clean' the first image is using 8000 ISO - that's pretty impressive even for a K5 or K30/K50.
The lighting in the last picture is sheer beauty.
The Tanfield Railway is just one of the wonderful photo locations we have in the North East.

As Barrie says - it has all been said -I can only add that the last image is simply the best rail image I have seen for a long time - stunning shot.

The one that catches my eye is the penultimate one. Though it might be better from a slightly different angle - the right hand bit is a bit dull.

But then, all my friends do think I'm a bit odd.

Some people call me 'strange'.
I prefer 'unconventional'.
But I'm willing to compromise and accept 'eccentric'.

I really like these photos. It seems like one can almost feel the heat radiating from that fire box!

Thanks for the kind feedback. This was something a bit different for me. Enjoyed playing with the ultra wide angle and I then was so lucky with the light for the last one.

I was impressed with the high ISO too David. First time out with the new 50mm f1.8 too.

Might just send it in Smudge
