Very nice work shown here. Thank you to all for sharing.

Not the greatest quality images and they are scans from prints but here are a couple of old ones originally shot on 35mm film. These were taken with a 50mm lens and are shown full frame.

Nothing compare to all these other photos shown.

And a few others.

Willow River, near Hudson, Wisconsin

Not the best photography but just love the engines:

Pity you cannot smell them? All steam powered.

Taken at the Midlands Model Engineering Exhibition last Saturday.

Rod, that's nice. I love that smell of coal and wood smoke along with the steam.

Hi, Calpol

Love the fly.

Interesting thread. Many of the photgraphs are attractive (essentially) because the subject is stunning.

Many of the photographs I bought back from my holiday in Canada have been admired, but the scenery is so jaw-dropping it reflects little merit on my ability with a camera!

Other photographs are striking because they're unusual; in some cases this comes down to unusual techniques or equipment - ultra macro and zoom lenses can this for you, along with extreme exposure times (both short and long).

The really HARD trick (IMHO) is to take a better photograph than the next guy, of the same subject, using comparable equipment. I guess that would be "art".

Ah, Ha! the 4 legged muck magnet yet again! How on earth do you get him to stay clean enough for long enough to take his picture? Mine have always managed to get filthy or wet in the time it takes to get the bloody camera out! :roll:
