RMweb Gold big jim Posted February 23, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 23, 2014 The more i look at the colas 70s the more i think that the solebar would look good in black rather than orange/yellow Ive been looking through my class 70 manual in preperation for next weeks training course, quite a lot to take in , probably make more sense once i actually get on one!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold big jim Posted February 25, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 25, 2014 bought myself a "new" camera yesterday from cash converters, a fujifilm HS28 EXR, 16MP with 30 x manual optical zoom for the princely sum of £80, the last camera had more than paid for itself as i'd had a number of photographs printed in railway mag, traction, rail express so i'd been on the lookout for something new and this came up at just the right price, again something i could simply throw into my bag that if it got damaged it would be no huge loss, it seems to be a lot quicker camera than the old fujifilm and it most definatly has a lot more functions, none of which i've figured out yet!! tried it out last night with a couple of shots in bescot while i was waiting for my loco to be fuelled, there were taken freehand (no tripod) and i'm quite pleased with the results im particularly pleased with the last one, its clarity on the front of the loco on the original picture is brilliant (the image is obviously compressed for uploading) i then took a shot in toton when i finally arrived there this morning at 05:45, not the best of shots but for a non composed point and shoot picture its not too bad, i may take my tripod and try and get some shots in humberstone rd one night this week, i certainly will when i get a 70 on it!! 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Horse Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Nice pictures Jim......I'm sure that 08 is in the same position as I was trying to read it's number on Sunday evening in the dark when I was there, I obviously failed trying to read from the platform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Harvey Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 The 08 looks like a model with a heavy coat of gloss with the lighting Jim nice pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkie_pudd Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 with the clarity shown I`d say the new camera was well worth it just for them shots above, nice 1 jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post big jim Posted February 26, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) Any pictures of Colas 37s yet Jim? ken. no nothing yet! had a bit more of a play with the new camera last night, a few pics in oxford, this none is in auto mode these 2 are using the EXR function, seems to be a lot of light glare on them, agin taken freehand whereas this one is night time mode, the sky seems better on this pic and off into leicester where i had a bit of time to try and get a decent pic and i ended up with these two, the camera was just resting on the top of a signal post telephone! there is very little if not no light illuminating the side of the loco and warehouse so this is a 15 second exposure! and zoomed in a bit quite pleased with those 2 pictures, i will be taking a tripod tonight to get some more with any luck EDIT: quickly edited the leicester pic with photoshop on the ipad Edited February 26, 2014 by big jim 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
