Cider, camera trouble and a C class


Torn-on-the-platform

498 views

I have now added photos of visits to the Bluebell Railway and South Devon Railway in August to my 2013 page. There is also a video from the Bluebell, to be found under the photo gallery - my first for the site! You will also hopefully notice that I've freshened up the template for the site.

 

The delay in posting is a result of losing one of my cameras whilst at the Bluebell. I had given up all hope of finding it, but a very kind member went far out of his way to find it himself and return it to me, 2 months later, still in working condition. Whilst most of the photos from this day are from a camera that I had borrowed from my dad for the day, I wanted to wait to see if the camera could be returned before posting any photos.

 

The set from Rails and Ales at the South Devon Railway is the first to have been taken with a DSLR. It is circa 2005, and was a gift from a neighbour who is keen on photography, and has little use for it anymore. I've not yet had time to learn how to use it, but I was relatively pleased with the results so far.

 

I had posted a couple of these photos in another thread on this site, so you may recognise them!

As usual, comments and constructive criticism will be more than welcome!

Sorry, I should perhaps have explained better in the post itself, though all is explained in on the page I have linked to.

 

The reason for the camera loss was pure and simple clumsiness and stupidity. I was at a part of the lineside with public access, but dropped it into an area of railway property. I couldn't see where it had landed and thought I would get in a fair amount of trouble if I trespassed to go looking for it.

 

Cider, that was in reference to the Rails and Ales at SDR. A very hot day unfortunately attracted the wasps and Ale was certainly the better option in the circumstances!

I've just read your comment again Jon! I seem to have mis-read it. Alas not, they happened on separate occasions! It would make for a more amusing anecdote though!
