Steam at Swithland

by pgweber

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!
