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)Â
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

Super shot Love the way you have captured the smoke from the loco. And the snakelike line of carrages. Great result, looks great.

I don't know why they stuck their heads out like that Alan, unless somebody had been on the curry last night maybe. Lol. Excellent capture, and I agree, it looks great in colour, I think it would look great in any colour. Superb work. Bravo!!!!!

Great POV here, and perfect timing to catch the smoke and the two gentlemen. I'm also glad you kept this in color.

Wonderful capture! Color is perfectly appropriate - they had color film in the 1940s. Our local public television station has been running "The War In Color" recently. There was LOTS of color footage taken during WWII. You're on safe ground!
