I don't necessarily believe in resolutions. To me, if there is something that you need to change in your life, if you have to wait to the beginning of the year to do it, then it probably won't get done.
That being said, I picked my camera back up and have made a habit of lugging (I say lugging because that 7D is SOLID!) it around in my handbag the day BEFORE the new year. ;)
So that's my resolution. To start documenting my life again, for myself. So many changes are in the works this year (a new fiance who is getting deployed) so having my camera handy again will be mandatory.
Happy New Year, everyone.
46026 The Leicestershire And Derbyshire Yeomanry awaits departure from platform 5 at Plymouth on the 3rd November 1984 with the F&W 04.00 Plymouth - Kings Lynn railtour. This was not billed as the class 46 farewell as it was advertised for 'unspecified traction' but it was heavily rumoured to be one. There were just six left by November 1984 and they were not in the best of health. 46026 duly arrived the previous evening on a relief train from York and all was set. Just a small matter of getting up at an ungodly hour. This was easily resolved by simply not going to bed. I met fellow enthusiasts off the relief and bags were dumped in the luggage lockers and we headed for the pubs and clubs of Plymouth. The night was young and we were mainly in our mid-20s. When the clubs kicked out at 02.00 it was kebab and burger time in Union Street and then back to the station for probably the last 46 departure from Plymouth. How I managed to compose this night exposure I will never know. Seem to remember waking up at Cheltenham so managed a good three hour sleep. Just don't mention the pebble-dashing of the train on the return...but I'm sure someone will.

'Resolve to be thyself; and know that he who finds himself, loses his misery.'

Like most people I make resolutions every New Years which I hope to keep. Every year I resolve to get myself into better shape with a healthy diet and exercise routine. I usually stick with it for the first couple of months and see some results but eventually I go back to the unhealthy habits. Sure, I can blame all sorts of reasons why I fail and make up excuses such as I have no time to exercise, buying healthy foods is too expensive, blah, blah, blah but the reality is I have no one to blame but myself. In all fairness, sitting at my old desk job for the last three years did not work in my favor and so my goal is to lose the 25 lbs I have gained over these past three years. I have already been back to using my treadmill and once the days are nicer and the snow has mostly disappeared I plan on getting outside and back to my running routine. We all know that reaching our goals do not happen overnight (I wish they would!!!) We have to work hard in order to achieve those goals. You can accomplish anything you to want if you try hard enough. It just takes one step at a time. :)
Tonight I am planning on attending a free Zumba class to see what it is like. I have never tried it before and I am excited it is being offered here in my small town. If they have enough interest in it they will then offer it as a regular class. I am hoping it goes well. :)
In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in an clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness. Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth.

Some of you may have noticed that, unfortunately, owing to the fact that a certain person who sells truck photos on eBay commercially has been lifting my images from this album and selling them I have had to remove 2300 photos that didn't have a watermark. I have now run around 1700 through Lightroom and added a watermark with the intention of bulk uploading them again. Rather than watermark the existing (hidden) files in Flickr one at a time it will be easier to do it this way. I definitely won’t be adding individual tags with the make and model of each vehicle I will just add generic transport tags. Each photo is named after the vehicle and reg in any case. For anyone new to these images there is a chapter and verse explanation below. It is staggering how many times I get asked questions that a quick scan would answer or just as likely I can’t possibly answer – I didn’t take them, but, just to clarify-I do own the copyright- and I do pursue copyright theft.
This is a collection of scanned prints from a collection of photographs taken by the late Jim Taylor A number of years ago I was offered a large number of photographs taken by Jim Taylor, a transport photographer based in Huddersfield. The collection, 30,000 prints, 20,000 negatives – and copyright! – had been offered to me and one of the national transport magazines previously by a friend of Jim's, on behalf of Jim's wife. I initially turned them down, already having over 30,000 of my own prints filed away and taking space up. Several months later the prints were still for sale – at what was, apparently, the going rate. It was a lot of money and I deliberated for quite a while before deciding to buy them. I did however buy them directly from Jim’s wife and she delivered them personally – just to quash the occasional rumour from people who can’t mind their own business. Although some prints were sold elsewhere, particularly the popular big fleet stuff, I should have the negatives, unfortunately they came to me in a random mix, 1200 to a box, without any sort of indexing and as such it would be impossible to match negatives to prints, or, to even find a print of any particular vehicle. I have only ever looked at a handful myself unless I am scanning them. The prints are generally in excellent condition and I initially stored them in a bedroom without ever looking at any of them. In 2006 I built an extension and they had to be well protected from dust and moved a few times. Ultimately my former 6x7 box room office has become their (and my own work’s) permanent home.
I hope to avoid posting images that Jim had not taken his self, however should I inadvertently infringe another photographers copyright, please inform me by email and I will resolve the issue immediately. There are copyright issues with some of the photographs that were sold to me. A Flickr member from Scotland drew my attention to some of his own work amongst the first uploads of Jim’s work. I had a quick look through some of the 30 boxes of prints and decided that for the time being the safest thing for me to do was withdraw the majority of the earlier uploaded scans and deal with the problem – which I did. whilst the vast majority of the prints are Jims, there is a problem defining copyright of some of them, this is something that the seller did not make clear at the time. I am reasonably confident that I have since been successful in identifying Jims own work. His early work consists of many thousands of lustre 6x4 prints which are difficult to scan well, later work is almost entirely 7x5 glossy, much easier to scan. Not all of the prints are pin sharp but I can generally print successfully to A4 from a scan.
You may notice photographs being duplicated in this Album, unfortunately there are multiple copies of many prints (for swapping) and as I have to have a system of archiving and backing up I can only guess - using memory - if I have scanned a print before. The bigger fleets have so many similar vehicles and registration numbers that it is impossible to get it right all of the time. It is easier to scan and process a print than check my files - on three different PC’s - for duplicates. There has not been, nor will there ever be, any intention to knowingly breach anyone else's copyright. I have presented the Jim Taylor collection as exactly that-The Jim Taylor Collection- his work not mine, my own work is quite obviously mine.
Unfortunately, many truck spotters have swapped and traded their work without copyright marking it as theirs. These people never anticipated the ease with which images would be shared online in the future. I would guess that having swapped and traded photos for many years that it is almost impossible to control their future use. Anyone wanting to control the future use of their work would have been well advised to copyright mark their work (as many did) and would be well advised not to post them on photo sharing sites without a watermark as the whole point of these sites is to share the image, it is very easy for those that wish, to lift any image, despite security settings, indeed, Flickr itself, warns you that this is the case. It was this abuse and theft of my material that led me to watermark all of my later uploads. I may yet withdraw non-watermarked photos, I haven’t decided yet. (I did in the end)
To anyone reading the above it will be quite obvious that I can’t provide information regarding specific photos or potential future uploads – I didn’t take them! There are many vehicles that were well known to me as Jim only lived down the road from me (although I didn’t know him), however scanning, titling, tagging and uploading is laborious and time consuming enough, I do however provide a fair amount of information with my own transport (and other) photos. I am aware that there are requests from other Flickr users that are unanswered, I stumble across them months or years after they were posted, this isn’t deliberate. Some weekends one or two “enthusiasts” can add many hundreds of photos as favourites, this pushes requests that are in the comments section ten or twenty pages out of sight and I miss them. I also have notifications switched off, I receive around 50 emails a day through work and I don’t want even more from Flickr. Other requests, like many other things, I just plain forget – no excuses! Uploads of Jim’s photos will be infrequent as it is a boring pastime and I would much rather work on my own output.

Now the working is with GBRf and turns either a Bluebird 66 or Europorte 92.
46 Class 92 locomotives were built by a BRUSH- ABB consortium between 1993 and 1996. The locomotives are dual voltage and can take power from both the 25kv AC overhead lines or 750 DC third rail. They were split between Railfreight distribution, European Passenger Services and the SNCF however, the EPS and SNCF locos saw little use. The Railfreight distribution locomotives were initially troublesome as the amount of power that they draw was too much for the power supply on the northern WCML- this necessitated dragging of the locos to Crewe IEMD for maintenance. As of 2009, several EWS machines were equipped with TVM signalling to make them suitable to work through the channel tunnel- all such trains must run through the tunnel double headed to reduce the chance of failure.
DB Shenker own the majority of the fleet with 30 ex railfreight distribution machines. Until recently, they were underutilised and many spent time stored at Crewe electric. It would appear that the electrical problems with the OHLE have been resolved and as a consequence, 92s can be seen in daylight on the southern and northern WCML on a regular basis. During 2012, some locomotives were exported to Bulgaria. Many of the DBS Fleet are painted in DB Shenker red with the remainder painted in Railfreight triple grey with 'EWS' stickers.
GBRf/ Europorte now own the 16 EPS/ SNCF locomotives. Only five out of the fleet are currently operational however, the remaining 11 locomotives are now based at BRUSH in Loughborough awaiting returns to service. 92032 has been painted in the distinctive GBRf 'Bluebird' colour scheme however, the remainder of the GBEP fleet is painted in Railfreight distribution triple grey with large 'Europorte 2' disks. 92010 and 92044 do not even have this branding.
All locomotives have 3 'tunnel rings' on the bodyside and some are fitted with a high-intensity tunnel light. Most of the 46 locomotives were originally named after famous composers.

I have had internet problems and finally resolved it all so hope to catch up will you all now!
St Mary's Church at Pilleth is magically set amongst steeply decending hillsides in the Lugg Valley. It was damaged in a battle in 1402 and renovated in 1894 when the foof burnt down. It has a Holy Well which people made pilgrimages to for its healing.
I peered over the edges and it was dry, apparently unheard of according to the locals.... just as well I didn't go there for its magic properties!
Seriously though this is a magical place with breathtaking views
This is the first time I've used my new lens..Tamron wideangled zoom ...thanks David for persuading me it's going to be fun when i get the hang of it!
