I turned up at Platform 3 hoping to photograph the two steam engines, but I didn't anticipate the departure of the Portbury car train from Temple Meads.

Looking across from platform 3, not best choice given the light.

You've got some cracking pictures there, especially http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/irtmainpage/ ... 13-01b.jpg

I'm reminded of the work of the great George Heiron.

May I ask what camera you use?

Thanks Andy.

It's a Canon EOS 350D with an EFS 18-55 lens and an EF 55-200 lens.

I thought it might be Canon. I've got a Nikon and I feel it doesn't produce such nice colour.
