B&W for me, but only by a thin margin

Another recommendation here. Used them loads of times and never had an issue.

Not so sure about number 2, but I really like the rest. 4 and 5 are just sublime. I'm going to go against the grain too, and say that Deltics are the only EE diesel that I don't like. I have to admit that from an engineering point of view they are stunning, but they just leave me cold. Give me a...

Have to agree with Matthew. It's cropped way too tight, and although it's likely to be of use to someone modelling such a loco it doesn't make an awe inspiring picture. It's a little too warm too I think?

Jamie did you ever get to the bottom of this? I am having the exact same problem, and having done a little research it seems to be particularly prevalent with Macs. Every time I set the colour profile on my printer, it defaults to IJ again, and I get a pink colour cast. Send the exact same image...

Liking those, especially the contrasting front ends in no2. I see Glorious is still looking worse for wear too.

Possibly! ;)

Having a week in Bavaria at the moment, and I'm damn sure this camera bag is getting about half a kilo heavier every day. The only thing extra in it since I left home is the image files. I can therefore deduce that they MUST be weighty little blighters!

I do hope so, or it just won't be the same.... ;)

By the way...some nice photos of an old hero. It'll be nice to see Thunderer back in traffic after it's generator rebuild.

There are plenty living ones out there still :thumbs: http://www.fiftyfund.org.uk/

There is indeed. Big passenger diesels were a flash in the pan really in the big scheme of things, and only account for maybe 40 years of railway history before being replaced by various units. It's odd to think that loco hauled trains (with a few minor exceptions) are a thing of the past in the...

Steam engines are all very nice, but I'm afraid diesels are where it's at for me. My first post here in a while, but I have been shooting a few big dirty diesels lately. Comments welcome (as long as it's not to try and convert me to kettles...) :D 50026 departing Dereham by 5H17, on Flickr...

The 70-200 f/4L is worth a look too, and used ones can be had for what is really pennies. I got mine for around £350 with the intention of upgrading to the 2.8 later. I've still never bothered to upgrade it...:D *edit... Just read your next post about 300-400mm being preferable. Doh! Read the...

Who on earth will I get to kick me in the shins, and whack me with rucksacks now? That kind of abuse costs money you know... (Joking aside, I did quite like the Focus show.... I hope the gap gets filled by something equally large, because it was nice to have everything in one place..just my...
