Welcome
Hi all and welcome to Sean Deacon's Railway Photo's. I first became interested in the railways about 6 years ago as a result of seemingly always being on a train. I am now employed on the railways. I have only in the last 4 years started to take photo's and as a result i'm still a novice in this field.

I started off with a point and shoot camera and Investment in a new camera had taken place with the purchase of a FujiFinepix A920 which compared to my last camera is a marked improvement and with the zoom enables me to improve my photo's.

My current camera is newly purchased Sony A200 DSLR. This is a great camera and hopefully you will see further improvements in my work. My first proper day out testing it can be seen in the gallery and has a vast improvement especially with shots at speed
I do believe my photo's as you will see are taken usually at station locations. I feel they give me a better backdrop to my photo's and can also provide some interesting effects.

I am only a beginner as i say in taking photos but i enjoy myself while out which i think is the main point. So please enjoy and feel free to leave constructive comments.
