[Trawlerman]

Hi,

My name is Mick and I'm new 'round here. I've been into photographing ships for the past 25 yrs but I want to diversify a little and do something different for the days when there are no ships around or tide time don't match my leisure time.

I've done a little bit of rail photography over the years but nothing too serious.

What I would like to know what are do's and don'ts with rail photography. I shoot with a Pentax DSLR and can cover from 10mm to 500mm so i'm all set in that respect. What books would you recommend for information on Loco's and Rolling stock?

For now I've drawn up a preliminary list of places to visit in my area and came up with these ......

Melton Ross / Barnetby
King George V Bridge - Keadby
Immingham
Monk Fryston
York
Doncaster
Copmanthorpe
Selby
Northallerton
Scarborough

I would be more interested in seeing Freight Services and HSTs over DMUs.

Regards
Mick
