Steam at Swithland
Photo Information
Yesterday I was at the Great Central Railway near Loughborough photographing their 2012 Winter Gala.
I captured ex GWR Hall No. 4953 "Pitchford Hall", as it crossed the reservoir at Swithland.
The weather was fine and cold as expected.
I saw many Pentaxians about. One had two cameras round his neck, an iST-DS and a 100D Super with 18-55 & 50-200.
I had two as well, my K5 and MZ6 but I still haven't finished the slide film that has been going for a year!
