6233 on The Ynys Mon Express - 13/6/09

Another outing along the North Wales Coast for Duchess of Sutherland in the last year of her current boiler certificate. The train operated by PMR Tours originated in Sheffield and was steam hauled from Crewe to Holyhead and return. The video includes shots at Conway, Llanfairfechan and Llandudno Junction.

Very well done, all your videos are of high quality. Your restrained use of the dreaded zoom feature is especially creditable!

[acw71000]

Thanks very much for your kind comments, we obviously have similar tastes as I try to avoid the zoom as much as possible, steam in the landscape is my first choice

Well, I'm a huge fan of the Ivo Peters school of railway photography/film, and your work certainly puts me in mind of his films.

Perhaps even worse than the 'dreaded zoom' is the 'never-ending wide angle', where the cameraman seems determined to use every millimeter of his focal length - to the point where an approaching train seems to be getting further away!

[acw71000]

I think I may just retire from photography now if my work is in any way similar to the great Ivo Peters, there could be no higher compliment. I agree too re use of the wide angle.

What an excellent production, Austin.

You are setting a very high standard for us to match.

Thanks David, just had a look at your videos from Saturday, very nice. Good of you to capture me in two of the shots!!

[acw71000]

Thanks Chris, yes just another train to him obviously.

Thanks, as a gardener too I quite agree. We do like a bit of a grumble!
