At last! got to the Svr's steam gala and spent all day , well nearly all day there.
This event is unique in the heritage railway calender as it runs throughout friday and saturday nights giving the chance of some night photography on a working steam railway.
I started my visit on a murky Erdington bank then made my way south along the line, ending up at Arley as I lost daylight and moved into nightime mode before going down to Kidderminster then driving back up to Hampton Loade and Bridgenrth before calling a day at aprox 0200hrs then driving back home to Derby geting into bed at around 0345hrs.
But it was worth it, I am a fan of B/W photography and as the light dipped I took the oportunity to do some b/w shooting, the results are to the second part of this collection but well worth the effort to go and have a look
