Tornado

Post by andysleigh » Sat Feb 14, 2009 11:55 pm

I went to see Tornado go through Brookwood station today, then i went to Shalford station to see her again, but this time she was stopping for water at Shalford, so some photo opputunities came up. Anoyingly my video camera decided to go flat just as Tornado approached Shalford  :evil:

The day also gave me a chance to try out my new Sony DSLR camera.

Thanks to my dad for turning the camera while i was taking pictures 8)

Great pictures - you've mastered the art of taking pictures at night more than I have with the new camera, but I'm sure I'll get there!
BTW, still can't see the MDLR's permanent way - I'll have to do some serious scraping and shovelling if I want to run a train today (which I may well want to do later....................

Thanks!

The night pics are jsut a few of many i took, most were blury, and whats really anoying is if the camera cant get the right amount of light, it wont take a picture, so i think i had to reli on other peoples flashes to take the photos!

Good stuff :) And if it makes you feel better, you're not the only one who's had a frustrating time trying to photograph 60163...
