    I wonder if it's possible to get either onto the roof of Regent House or at least to a window on the top floor? It would need to be an opener.

    I believe Regent house is private, for business' only. Not sure whether the roof is accessible, but I reckon you'd need a job there to find out! :p
    Wasn't the best picture. My original plan was to get up to the station, but as walking from the bus, I heard that chime from the station! had to get a position quickly!
    That position has worked for others in the past, a shot not long ago recently got posted on facebook from that position, if not a bit lower. 312523_261128000573084_2548056_n.jpg

    Still, probably the last of this season I'll be seeing, will try a few different places next year. Still got a few places to test out after I'm new to all this railway photography like! :D

    Evening All

    Further to todays welcome return to the Scarborough Flyer of 60009 Union of South Africa, i took these photos 4 years,1 week ago on the 29th August 2008. if i remember rightly it was 60009’s last run as it failed just a few minutes later at Mirfield/Ravensthorpe, never to return till today.

    :D

    Love it!

    Ultimately, though, we all know that it's the guy composing the shot who does the hard work :) I've seen some awful shots taken with VERY expensive camera gear...

    So true. I know I can't compete on quality with my older cheaper camera so that's why I try to go for more interesting shots. I've seen shots that whilst they may be crystal clear quality they're boring.

    They are all good to me, keep em coming fellas. I don't DO photography, I haven't even got a camera.

    A while ago Stuart put one up of 46223 exiting Elland Tunnel. I thought it was great, wonderful shot, Then Stuart chirps up and says that he wasn't happy with it because it was a bit out of focus. :noidea:
