Railway Photography - Index Page
Site and pictures by Ian Lawrence
Who is this site intended for?
If you like to see pictures of trains in nice landscapes, at typical stations or other general action shots please take a look. If you're looking for lists of engines or locomotive only portraits this isn't the site for you.
The purpose of this site
I always use the internet to find interesting countries, areas and lines and prepare for holidays and tours. Sites with good pictures showing the photographic possibilities are rare and hard to find, but are always worthwhile looking for. I've visited places I wouldn't have dreamt going to, after finding suitable websites. The primary objective of this site (besides showing off of course), is to make some of my photos available on the internet so others can profit from my journeys. As my time is limited, I generate these pages automatically, which means I can't add much extra information to the pictures. If you can't find a specific location on a map you can always ask me. If you like what you see or have any remarks please don't hesitate to send me a mail. Mail can be sent in english, dutch or german.
Organised tours
Many of my best photos were taken on organised photographic tours. Often I'm asked to recommend a specific operator. I've used various tour operators, but have found FarRail tours to be one of the best. The tours are planned for the serious photographer. The tourleader is a great photographer himself, which means you don't miss any photo opportunities. Have a look at upcoming tours: www.farrail.com
If you have any questions about this operator or any other tour operator I've used just send me a mail.
Pictures before November 2005 were taken with a Canon EOS33 or Canon EOS600 SLR camera with various lenses using negative film. The more recent pictures were scanned from negative by the photoshop. The older pictures where scanned from prints at home.
Pictures taken between November 2005 and January 2008 were taken with a Canon EOS 10D DSLR. Newer picture were taken using a Canon EOS 30D DSLR.
Lenses currently used: Canon 15-85/3.5-5.6 IS, Canon 70-200/L4 and Canon 70-300/4-5.6 IS
I also use a Fujifilm X10 when I want to travel light.
