Some very nice shots. 1 and 8 here as well, and 7. The bird is cool

Gorgeous, classy set but 1 and 9 are simply stunning.

Thank you all so much. 7 is definitely my favourite. Taken from a bridge in Alton where we decided to catch the train first. It was worth getting soaked for.
To be fair this was all rather spontanous with no pre planning. We did not even know that Ropley is on that line. We stumbled upon on while trying to catch the train; luckily. Will definitely be revisiting over Easter as I'd quite like to get some early evening shots and read there is the ale train from Alton at sunset. Just saw your image in the gallery. Stunning as always
If we were staying in the UK longer, I can quite imagine becoming somewhat addicted to this.
Thank you again for taking the time to comment.

Shame you didn't come earlier, you might have caught the end of the morning freight charter with 76017! Luckily the rain eased and sun shone between 09:00 and 10:00. I like the sky above the Watercress lodges, and the wet coach rooves, I had to go to work after the charter finished, and got caught in the downpour at about 12:30

I have been wanting to photograph a steam train for ages and never quite got around to it, so yesterday, on the way to South Downs we decided to explore the Watercress Line. Started of in pouring rain but it got nicer towards the afternoon Had a great time running around with the camera trying different angles. Started of in pouring rain but it did get better after a while with the clouds providing a nice backdrop.
CC welcome. Thanks!

Wow, fantastic shots and what a model. The wind and the ears mix all too well!

That's the main thing with other brands....you need a bag of gold. Per Pound spent, I am yet to see/try better gear and I do have friends with all sorts of gear that drool over images from the K7+limiteds combos of one us. There is some absolutely beautiful, capable equipment out there; lighter, better in some aspects, but once you start looking at assembling a set equivalent to that of your Pentax; it suddenly does not look so rosy; just the camera bodies can cost the world.
Another thing I love about Pentax; fancy a 'new' lens? No problem, hop on Ebay, spend 50 quid and off we go. Oh wait, this one is fantastic, too And yes, to an extend it's possible with other brands as well but you hardly meet many Canikon+ photographers raving about old school glass - you mention M42 and some think it's a Russian machine gun or at best, correctly associate it with the Great Orion Nebula
Back to the OP, I did also buy a spare battery for my now quite old 'O' haha as I will be lending it to a friend for a while.

Wacom Intuos Pro Pen and touch, small, loving it. Most likely would not have gotten one at this time otherwise, Happy I did. It has a steep learning curve, mainly in regards to training your muscle memory; but it's an unbelivable improvement over mouse for retouching/masking/brushing in Photoshop.

Beautiful, natural, excellent quality shots. Everything that is so often missing from 9/10 wedding photos you see nowadays.
That dance floor one is absolutely gorgeous.
