Hi there :) thanks for calling by.

You may know my name from transport magazines (Buses, Coach & Bus Week, Paddle Wheels, Bus & Coach Preservation and others). Yes I am 'that' John Lidstone so you'll know my specialism is road transport photography - my first photos were taken in 1965 and I began serious transport photography in 1970, processing all my own B&W photos in my Dad's darkroom, with colour taking over in summer 1981.

OK, now we've got that out of the way, what may surprise you is that I love general photography as well as transport - so that means everything from sunsets to spring buds, aircraft to autumn tints, architecture to cats.......

I strive for originality and through my images, I try to show atmosphere, character and do what I do to the best quality I can.

Welcome, come and enjoy my image world :)
