Blue Bell Railway departing Kingscote

Working with my old Canon 7D DSLR, I made this view from the window of a Bluebell Railway excursion train departing the station at Kingcote on April 20, 2013.

I made minor adjustments to the original Canon CR2 RAW file file using Adobe Lightroom.

I’d made good use of my Canon from June 2010 through early 2015. Since that time I’ve only picked up the camera intermittently, although it still works and produces very good images

Steam Locomotives Meet at Groffs

During the Christmas peak, Strasburg Rail Road operates half-hourly departures on its very popular run to Leaman Place.

I made this photographic sequence using my Nikon Z7-II with 24-70mm lens.
