there are some improvements there, the fact that I can Make out the trains, and there not all blurred

and its not Clampham Jnc for once..

although...

you still have uploaded some cr@p shots, where you have miss timed pressing the shutter, or trains and platforms have bent.

I think you need some more practising in prep for the Last Slam or whatever...

Quite a lot better than previous attempts, but still not that good. Keep improving!

There are some real improvements there, so well done.

I think one thing that you are doing wrong is not thinking about your shot enough before pressing the shutter. This is something that I used to do when I first started photography. You have to remember that the human brain is very selective. So if you are looking at a train coming into a station your eyes see everything, but your brain will filter out all of the rubbish that you're not interested in, such as people, canopies, overhead wires, etc... But the camera records all that it sees. Before you press the shutter consciously look at the image in your viewfinder and see what else is in the picture apart from the main subject. Here's one of my early shots....

Click the image to zoom in

At the time all I could see was the train coming into the station, but once I got the pictures back from the developers I could see my mistake. Trouble was you had to pay for your mistakes then. At least now in the digital age you can delete them.

I'll ask Matt to sort out the bad link !!!!!

Why've you called it 'Just Harrow' when half of those shots are Willesden/Wembley? Even Harrow isn't "just Harrow", it's Harrow & Wealdstone...

Much better! And you went to willesden too!

That one of the 2 67s has come out very well compared to your earlier attempts.

Keep it up!

Definate improvement. I like the class 377, which I can blow up to full size with decent quality. Keep it up!

a monkey with a crayon is better than a mobile phone pic (well, the phone pic looks ok if you restrict it to the screen on the phone!).
