Fairburn tank photo charter + gcr shed shots + tornado

[RickE]

Hi folks Im new to this forum! I Spent last Thursday on a Matt Allen photocharter at the GCR with the Fairburn tank. A bit dull but some reasonable shots!
Went back to the GCR on Sunday to catch up on shed goings on! And decided to go over to the SVR for Tornado,etc
The results from these visits can be viewed at http://rickeborallphotography.fotopic.net/ For anyone interested!

Welcome to the forum . I've come across some of your shots before and have been very impressed, and this collection doesnt dissapoint either! That shot on the exit of Bewdley tunnel, full sun, excecuted perfectly!

I should be down there on Sunday to get some shots as I haven't seen the damn thing yet.

Also may I ask what this Matt Allen photocharter is?(if thats the right way to ask what I mean to ask!)

Matt Allen is one of a number of railway enthusiasts who organise the use of a loco and a railway for a photographic session. Usually with a theme of say authentic coaching stock or freight! All proceeds go back to the railway that is in use! The bonus being whoever is on the charter gets the whole railway to themselves to do what they wish for the day! ie run pasts, statics, Night shoots etc to get the shots as you want them!
And the railway makes money! Which is probably the most important thing!
