11 to win pleez, not a lot to choose from this week.

 

[berwickspotter]

I like number 4

 

[Lampshade]

I like 11, it's like an advancing army of EMUs hock:

 

[Pumbaa]

**** - forget to put mine in.

Ah well.
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
7 would be absolutely fantatsic if it weren't for the tiny bit of handrail stuck in the way of the bottom right corner. 3 is also very good, but the rear Meridian is out of focus, which spoils it somewhat. 4 is also very good, but the shadows put me off. I plumped for 9, good all round shot, with plenty of background other than a unit.

 

[Big Chris]

I picked number 11

 

[devon_metro]

I like 7!

 

[mbonwick]

I don't think 8 really fits the theme - I'm almost certain that you can see a 66 headlight on the left....

Anyway, I went with 9.

Don't know about the left, but a 66 marker light is clearly evident very close the the camera on the bottom right. That said, it's not obvious, and no-one else spotted it, so back to the usual 'don't think it fits, don't vote for it'

Correction, someone likes your shot.
Yay I got enough votes to win. Thanks to those who did, thought it summed up just how loco free some areas are.

 

[37401]

Yes, but there was nothing out of the ordinary with 47s on cross country services, or electric locos on the west coast, or dmus on the cross-city at the time the best shots of them where taken. That's why you should shoot everything. Particularly with the livery merry-go-round of privatisation

Very ture, I do have a few unit shots here and there on my PC, must organise better than "Ians photos and having loads folders and files "WMDR" "37" "Nottingham" and I should clear some up too 40gb taken up by my fots and vids :eep:

Ive got 170 116 on the XC...does it count

 

[mumrar]

Of course it counts. They all do in the end when outdated. You think you have storage problems? I only have photos, going back just over a year. They are ordered by the date taken, and currently there's about 410Gb! The original shots are about 15Mb, if I like it and post process it that comes out as another 35Mb PSD file, and then a 1Mb website cropped version too. So 50 or so Mb per good shot!

Blimey! most of mine are photos, I just resize them to 1024x700odd keeps the file small and the original gets dumped on my laptop I was amazed at how small my Panoramic shots were less than 1mb

Thats a load of rubbish, its personal preferance, only should you take photos of units 'coff' ****boxes, if you like them.

47's on cross country where nothing out of the ordinary yes, same with electrics on the West coast, but they still had a big following, and that is evident with the photos today. Do DMU's really have the same following? I beg to differ.

The 47s and West Coast electrics didn't have big followings until later on in life. You can't honestly believe that steam went and the enthusiasts thought 'Hmm a hellfire diesel, I shall rate these forever more'. Look at 142s, cult following God knows why, just because you don't miss something until it's gone.
