These are mainly for the benefit of you guys who haven't seen the videos of our various SiF Meetings. On average, a lot of my photography takes place during these days out as it's the prime time when I'm likely to be around locomotives. Anyway, here's a link to the playlist of all SiF UK Days Out in the UK:

Never actually got round to doing this initially, but I reckon now's a decent time to do it anyway!

I mainly got into photography in the last few years with the digital camera, taking pictures of places, people and things that appeal to me.

I reckon from the way you look at it, everything has a beauty and magic all of its own that can be captured by the camera. Most of my pictures entail something to do with nature or country landscape, I've been brought up in the countryside and been exposed to wide open spaces on a regular basis growing up. This isn't to say that there isn't beauty in a city-scape, far from it. Glasgow and Edinburgh particularly in my experience have some wonderful buildings that really lend themselves to the look of the city. Really should start looking more at the buildings and beauty of the modern inner cities I've grown up with!

Apart from that, I joined DA because of the wonderful friends I've made on various forums who were already here showing off their work. Granted, they actually have to work hard on theirs, drawing and painting all the day long, while my "art" has already been created and waiting for me to arrive, or found purely through chance owing to the way the sun's shining!

Anyway, thanks for everyone who's commented or favourited one of my pieces so far, it's very much appreciated!
