Renderosity has opened a whole new world to me, its a fantastic place and have had some brilliant support from many new friends.  I retired from work very early through ill health so I took to photography from the very basics.
 Since joining I have grown in confidence with my photography and I now think because of RR that I take it a little more seriously. I started off here using a Fuji Finepix 6500fd, it took some great pictures but I'm hooked now so I have now(April 2008) bought a DSLR SAMSUNG DX10 and having fun learning the settings etc. ( these things take me a while lol)ÂÂ
I am so fortunate to be with a wonderful person in my life, Sylvia. She is not just my partner but of course she's also my best friend. Previously I have been married but seperated a few years ago and have two fantastic children. I NOW have two fantastic grandchildren !!!
My interests are photography, i have had a dabble at Acrylic painting, and I enjoy long walks out in the countryside.      I also have an interest in anything historical.  I want to have a sample of just about everything there is in photography, who knows what the future holds!
Thanks for calling by.    Alan

Nice shot. You captured the essence of the mighty steam locomotive very well. 5 stars. I love trains. Yes, I do.

Good snapshot! A clear picture of high quality, and the steam of the locomotive and the service at the water tank create the right atmosphere for railroad fans like me!

A superb capture Alan, we visit Goathland on a regular basis to see the steam trains. Your shot would make a wonderful illustration in a book, it really is top class work! Happy hugs. Di. xx

Fantastic image Alan, brought back quite a lot of memories for me both happy and sad, I keep meaning to go one Sunday then something else turns up. I can't help you with the names either I stopped spotting trains when I was about twelve and starting to get interested in girls. Great pov, I maybe would have moved in a bit closer, if it was possible that is. Excellent work. Bravo!!!!!

A beautiful image. I am like you, I love steam locomotives for the same reason you do. I also don't know much about them (except that they run on steam)and I also take every opportunity to photograph them, but they are hard to find nowadays Sig...
