A Photo from Day 3 of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.
The Swanage Railway runs trains from Norden via Corfe Castle, another station and a halt to Swanage Station or the other way round so there is some very pleasant scenery to look at and photograph when travelling along the line.
There is ample car parking at the Norden end of the line so I started there.
The day I went during the sort of main summer holidays, there were 2 trains running both hauled by Steam Locomotives.
Here, Bulleid Pacific 34028 "Eddystone" a SR 4-6-2 loco at Swanage Station has run round the train which recently arrived and is in position at the front of the train I will travel on as far as Corfe Castle Station.
34028 "Eddystone" is taking on Water ready for the journey.

You know that feeling when you've created a spreadsheet, then spent hours entering data from a paper copy? Then, after a few hours, you think "that's not right". So you investigate, and find out that you haven't been given all the sheets? So now, you need to go through every month, checking if there is missing data?
And you lose the will to live?
That.
I needed a break from the computer. I had a cream cake for afternoon tea break, but needed to wash up first.
I've got another task now, so tomorrow will be yet more data entry. Oh, and there is no elegant way to eat a chocolate eclair!

A Photo from Day 9 of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.
Another Double Railway Day and I decided to go to the North Norfolk Railway (NNR) in the morning and I can move onto the Mid Norfolk Railway (MNR) in the afternoon. It is only about 50 minutes by car between the 2 railways.
When I arrived at Dereham Station on the Mid Norfolk Railway (MNR), there were 2 Locomotives operating.
Here, at Dereham Station, GWR 813 is posing for Photographs with a few freight wagons.

I've been trying to get a picture of a bee on this for ages. So often the ones I am familiar with have flowers that are a bit too high. These ones in Dundee were all at head height or lower. Made for an enjoyable 10 minutes with the camera! Such a beautiful heady scent too - i hadnt realised that before!
Orange pollen load on view.
Will go on spreadsheet!

Clearly, this camera was done by a committee, not by, nor for photographers. However, once you accept the ergonomics disaster factor, you will soon realize what a beauty you've got on your hands.
Yes, I am liking it more and more.

A Photo from Day 4 of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.
The West Somerset Railway runs trains from Bishops Lydeard station to Dunster with a bus transfer to Minehead at the moment due to a problem with a level crossing.
There is ample car parking at the Bishops Lydeard end of the line so I started there.
The day I went during the sort of main summer holidays, there were 3 steam excursion running hauled by Steam Locomotives.
Here, large Prairie 5199 is at Bishops Lydeard Station having just Powered the Steam Excursion return journey from Dunster that I have a ticket for.

I do find myself going very narrow DOF and enjoying the slices of abstract picture that result. I do realise it is not everyone's cup of tea.

U2- Wild Honey
Black Rock cottage, Glencoe, Scotland
We've just got back from a week long holiday touring through Glencoe and the Isle of Skye, but we're still having a debate/argument as to who ACTUALLY suggested going there in the first place! Kathy wanted a midge free day with dark nights in an isolated lodge, bottle(s) of wine and a good book... and me - all the scenery I could merrily click away at until my heart's content! What we got was light showers, sudden downpours, driving rain, torrential downpours, non-stop rain, storms, high winds, gales, ferry cancellations, falling rocks, landslides, road closures and the odd scenic flood... oh, did I mention the rain?
And to cap it all off... Storm Callum, just to make the 400 mile drive home a little more tense and interesting!
The drive up on the Saturday morning went with 'spreadsheet' precision with every stop neatly planned (I'm sure there's a song in there somewhere). We left Manchester in the customary rain, which eventually cleared just after the northern lakes. A full hearty breakfast stop at Tebay and a couple of 'optional wee' stops on route and we were soon at Loch Lomond in brilliant sunshine and blue skies. At this point, I feel it's worth mentioning my photography hopes. I wasn't interested in pretty colourful blue sky images but was rather hoping for dark stormy skies full of menace (but without all the bloody rain) so in hindsight, be careful what you wish for!
After a couple of snap shots at either end of Loch Lomond we headed straight for my first proper location shot - the Black Rock cottage, just off the A82 and on the single track road to the Glencoe Mountain Resort. Holidaying at this time of year I was expecting very few tourists, but how wrong could I be! The area was packed and parking a nightmare, but more of that in another upload. When we arrived at this cottage my heart sank as hikers and mountaineers had already parked up were busy unloading their gear from their cars right in front of the cottage.
Having been on the road for a good six hours, I couldn't hide my disappointment of not having a clear shot, free of people and cars so I wandered across to the group of people to have a friendly Mancunian word. I politely asked how long they were staying and if their cars would be parked up the whole time. It turns out they were there for the weekend, but were also curious as to why I was asking. Explaining my wish to get a photo, the friendly group not only moved their gear and cars but also took some shots themselves and invited us in to have a look around the cottage. Turns out they were all members of the LSCC who administer bookings for the cottage. We spent a good half hour talking to them all and learnt a few things about the area.
I know this is just another cliché shot of this familiar landmark, but I can't speak highly enough of the people there for going out of their way to make this shot happen for me. In hindsight, turned out to be one of the best days of the holiday and it was only the start!

A Photo from Day 2 of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.
At Didcot Railway Centre, their "Diamond Jubilee Gala" had 4 steam locomotives with 2 each on the "Main Demonstration Line" and the shorter "Branch Line." 2 diesels powered some early morning and evening trains.
Several Steam Locomotives were also on Static Display and it was possible to go round the sheds.
Here, Kitson built No. 29 - The Lambton, Hetton and Joicey 0-6-2T Loco on loan from NYMR is on the way to the branch Line.
Photographed on "Yorkshire Day" (August 1st) and no 29 is displaying a board showing that.

Here, 2999 - "Lady of Legend", a 4-6-0 built in between 2009 and 2019 is in steam and will run on the main Demonstration Line but has moved onto the Turntable for a Demonstration of the Turntable.
2999 was built in such a way that it can be a 4-4-2 or as here a 4-6-0 version of the GWR 2900 "Saint" Class, None of which survived into Preservation. Some parts from Hall or Manor Locomotives were used in the build to an original Churchward design.

I think I might have misjudged Foma Retropan 320. I wanted to develop a roll yesterday and couldn't find any straight info on what the time for Rodinal 1+50 would be, one person says 11 min, another - 17 min. Official Foma spreadsheet doesn't recommend Rodinal for this film, probably because they advertise it as "fine grain". All results from this film I found through my online research were everything but fine grain. Anyway, I had no other choice but to throw the film in the usual 1+100 dilution and give it an hour to develop. It came out a bit foggy, the base is greyish, instead of clear and transparent. The real surprise came this morning, after scanning it with a my old dying Canon. The dark tones are to my liking, the black is rich and the grain is indeed retro. Only downside I find is the softness, but then again it's called Retropan 320 soft. It's probably not a good choice for portraits, although I gonna give that a try out of curiosity.
