Low light and frosty mornings...

3/4 view high res shots for you to download and print, or purchase prints on-line. To download on-line click on the image again once loaded for the full res version.

Both pictures ware taken during 1080p video recoring on the 5DII, however it seems that although tv and 500 sec were chosen, pictures taken during video are auto, and both of these ended up with 1/125 sec!

Not had time yet to do any serious linesiding, however here are a couple from a pass of Ely station in the dark. All shots hand held and using the 24-105 IS lens. These are straight from the camera JPEGs, will try the RAW soon. Click again to download the full resolution image.

Finally received my long awaited 5D MkII. Been very busy this week but managed to test some of its low light capabilities. All images were JPEG straight off the camera and not worked upon. Will need to start using RAW soon. As you will see its low light performance is amazing. Want to see the full image? Then click again and it will download the full and original camera file.

Some old scans for now from the 80s and 90s, hope to add some new stuff it the weather holds out this winter!

This year the Phoenix Railway Photographic Circle’s Social was planned for North Lincolnshire. It was a completely fantastic day all round, we had an early start catching the sunrise at Claypole. Then moving on to Barnetby for an official organized visit to Wrawby and East Barnetby boxes, after some very tasty fish and chips from Barnetby chippy we moved on to Scunthorpe for a private brake van charter around the steel works. In the evening we finished off with some good ale and a slide show from members at the Salutation in Doncaster. Great thanks are due to Dafydd and Bob for arranging such a fantastic day out.

The RPC held its Autumn Seminar in Ely, so the morning was an opportunity to do some photography.

Steve and I spent a great day travelling the midlands, sunshine and showers = great skys and lighting. Take a look at Steve's gallery, we have generally achieved quite different perspectives at the same locations visit http://stevearthur.fotopic.net/c1501305.html

A great day off work with extensive travel Lincoln and North Lincolnshire.

Take a look at Steve's gellery too, some great alternitive angles to mine, see link on the left.

the Phoenix Railway Photographic Circle had its Autumn social gathering at the North Norfolk Railway on the 10th November. Class 31 5580 was in charge ane we (Thanks JC) were able to organise an extended night shoot at the end of the day on Sheringham station. As ordered it rained all day to enhance 5580's steam heat ! A great turnout with over 1/2 the membership present, plus a superb meal at the end of the day in "The Lobster".

We booked the sun again! All shots taken on the 9th November 2007.

Took a day off work and travelled with Chris Burton for a day of photography in Lincolnshire. We spent a lot of time on reconnaissance looking for new opportunities to be had, and had a great lunch and ale in the lovely market town of Brigg.
