Many well-known photographers whose presentations and workshops I have followed have said, others may not like your images – but if you like them, then they are your best.

There were thousands of photographers at the steam galas, and already I have seen lots of better shots than these on the internet.

Looking though the images I collected in our two-week tour of British steam railways, some are good and some are not. The images here may not earn technical points, but they were made along with feelings and memories – so they are the images that you don’t ever delete.
