The bottom of the long steps is a good place to meet up. 10-10.30am it is for me then.

Hope you don't mind me crashing in on your thread Cliff but here's Duke of Gloucester after restoration, taken at Locomotion, the Shildon branch of the National Railway Museum. It really is a massive engine. It dwarfed the V2 Green Arrow parked alongside.

Things like the Goths at Whitby are just as close to South Yorkshire as they are to us in the North East. As Graham has pointed out Gareth (greynolds) trails all the way down from Edinburgh for that.

I wonder if Kris has his copy yet or whether PU are getting their own back for his last minute competition entries.

Sorry I've come late to this thread, just discovered it. Great set of pictures, expecially the line up of scrap engines at Woodhams. Those WD 0-6-0 saddle tanks were used everywhere, both by the Coal Board and the Eastern and Nothern Eastern regions of British Rail where they were class J94.

The 'phallic' ice is good and the isolated leaf is appealing. The trees in the fog would be better if you got rid of all the foreground clutter by cloning out the entire collection of twigs on the left and cropping off all the heavy stuff on the right. You would end up with a mysterious minimalist photo of the foggy trees.

Thanks for pointing this out Graham. I'm not sure what the boss has in mind for Saturday but this sounds a good photo op.

PS: Not long now before the next Goths Festival in Whitby.

I've followed this thread with interest because I sometimes feel I'm not getting optimum sharpness with the DA*50-135mm lens on a K10D. Even allowing for my reluctance to use a tripod I'm sure there is scope for 'could do better.'
So what is this hack MikeP is on about and how do I get into it?

I'm no portrait expert but I find this shot really engaging Ted. I think I prefer the mono version. Its a picture your family can treasure.

I tried this picture out on some colleagues at Durham PS as well. The one whose opinion I respect over most made a similar suggestion about how it should be cropped to MikeW. And yes for me its the one that works best. So here it is.

PS I couldn't afford to print this - it would use up all my black ink.
