One of the most popular images and large prints at shows and events, and indeed in the gallery in the past, is this one from the Steam Museum in the former Swindon works during a Timeline Events shoot a few years back. The engine is King No. 6000 "King George V". Probably the closest you'll get to seeing this loco in steam! The crew member looking along the side and the couple walking out of the picture and re-enactors carefully posed to create the romantic scene. The characters on the left of the picture are mannequins and don't take instructions well. Lol. Incredible what can be captured in such an indoor setting with the use of smoke machines and lighting. Its always a good conversation piece for people to try and remember the title of the old film which we had in mind when this shot was set up. Do you know? It is of course "Brief Encounter", Starring Celia Johnson, Trevor Howard & Stanley Holloway. ![]()

As its May 1st it seems appropriate to post a classic springtime image of Bluebells, although they have been out for several weeks already in many places. These particular examples were on Wrington Hill, North Somerset a couple of years back. I spent the evening up there capturing this abundance of flowers in the roadside woods there and as the sun dropped down I found this composition with the "Sun Star" shining through the trees and casting light towards me in the foreground, which I quite liked. All quite accessible from footpaths, so please don't trample the flowers in these and other locations in pursuit of photos. ![]()
