Photo of the day: Series 2000 Railmotor 2051/2006 slumber in Bottom Points depot on the 26th April 2008

Hi all

I spent the weekend of the 26th/27th April 2008 at Zig Zag for the Trainee Fireman's course, and with the spare time over that duration, I took a few photos.


Saturday 26th April 2008
















Sunday 27th April 2008
















Apart from the 400D and a tripod, no other additional equipment was used for these photographs.

Enjoy!



Cheers

This is a very fine collection of photographs. It is an excellent study of Zig Zag and overview of its operations.

Thank you for sharing them.

Mate that is collection of the month at least, if not the year. Absolutely brilliant, particularly the darker shots.

You know I reckon you could make a great photographic book out of your shots. Excellent work there Maikha. Smile

Great photos buddy.
I fired 1072 a week ago and it was cold, but it looks to be colder when you were there judging by the snow! Laughing
