My theory is that photography is 90% to do with the nut attached to the camera, and only 10% due to the camera itself. I'm always amazed by the results the old-masters got with a "pinhole camera" and a box of glass-plates standing by the main line.

Ah thanks, I will see what I can do next time I get a chance to go trainspotting.

What type of trains does your partner drive?

Hmm lets see.. I'm pretty sure he drives everything in the current Northern Rail fleet. Definitely sure he drives 333's, they're his favourite simply because of the cup holder in the cab....!

Hi Articuno, welcome to the forum. Great to hear your into arlines and birds too, though those two things don't go hand in hand (or should I say wing in wing!) with each other

Yeh I have rather nerdy interests according to most!

Anyway, thankyou all for the really warm welcome!!

I wouldn't worry about having so called nerdy interests, everybody's interests are nerdy to someone. I enjoy railways and think to myself 'to hell with what others think, I have the company of many rail fans on this site'.
I have to admit to being surprised at how many Lady's are rail fans as well. On the trip to Milford Haven last month, there were just as many Lady's along the track, on the train and at stations as there were men. The knowledge of some them about the railways is as good as many men.

Syd, In some circles that would be deemed to be a sexist comment.

John, In some circles just calling them a lady would be deemed to be a sexist comment.

Thanks again you guys! Your posts about sexism were hilarious.

I'm going trainspotting on Thursday or Friday! Will also have my partner's half decent camera, expect some photos!!
