In my quest to display transport and railway images while disseminating information on technique, location choice, lighting and how I use photographic equipment, I\u2019ve aimed to cover a diverse range of railway subjects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These include: freight and passenger; heavy rail and transit; views across North America, Ireland and many other nations; photos by day, by night and in dusk and in twilight; rural, urban and suburban settings; above ground and below; track gauges broad, standard and narrow; preserved railways and modern for-profit carriers; historic and contemporary subjects; film and digital; black & white and colour; wide angle and telephoto; model trains and prototype; views with scenery, with structures, with people; photos in all weather; sun over the shoulder, sun in the face, and sun behind the cloud. Signals, bridges, stations, sheds, and etc; Common places and obscure locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also myriad associated forms of transport including canals, highways and in the skies; active lines and those lifted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some images represent a degree of perfection; most are works in progress; a few present examples of failure or missed opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
