My railway interest really started in 1972 when I went to school in York and was able to see the legendary Deltic locomotives heading north and south on the East Coast express trains. After the Deltic's finished at the end of 1981, I soon got very keen on the railways in Germany with the last few years of the V200 locos, and then I really started exploring Europe and beyond. I always took photos of the trains I travelled with, mostly prints. In 2002 I started taking digital photos with the Nikon 5700 camera, I soon upgraded to the 8700 as technology improved. I then moved on to Canon EOS 300, then to EOS 5D but I'm not a fan of full frame. I therefore changed to a Canon EOS 7D, for my needs, nowadays I prefer to Canon EOS 7D Mk II with a L series 24-105 mm lens. In 2022 I traded in my heavy Canon EOS 7D and L lens for a new Canon EOS R7 RF-S with a compact 18-150mm lens, it’s very lightweight which was a major reason for me changing my camera.
