Congratulations Bill, you were competing with some top landscape talent here. As you say its the picture that's important, not the gear it was taken on.

It was a perfect day Alan. It started off just like the previous day at Beamish, cold, wet and misty but the light changed as the day went on. Quite a few of these were shot directly into the sun, particularly Barrie's tracks image, and the Pentax lenses coped quite well.

That photo exudes a warm glow, what an advert for the contents of the bottle. Well done.

It was a great day Neil, good to meet you again and also the next day at the East Lancs Railway. The rest of us made the mistake of uploading our Beamish pictures into the Local Groups section instead of in Your Photos.

Two more from me

The only post-proceessing Peter was in levels and routine cropping, except in the picture of the B1 under the bridge at Bury where I did add a tiny amount of saturation enhancement. We were shooting against the sun, when it shone at all, for much of the day but with the correct lens hoods this isn't normally a problem exept in extreme cases.

It would have been better if these pictures, and those some of us did the previous day from Beamish, had been entered on the forum under Your Pictures rather than Local Groups and Meetings.

It was a great day at the ELR, good to meet old friends once more. I like the pics you've posted so far + Cliff's excellent photos in his portfolio.
Here's some of mine:
