Atlantic Conveyor 40106 Canvas Print

Originally built in 1960 this locomotive saw many years active running until 1983. Entering service as D306 it became re-branded as 40106 in the 1970s. It was bought for preservation and named as Atlantic Conveyor in honour of the ship of the same name that was lost in the Falklands conflict. It is also a bit of a movie star having been used as the loco in the film 'Buster' about the great train robbery.

I'm a UK based freelance photographer who particularly likes old things, churches, industrial heritage, old machinery . . . and then by contrast like nature and wildlife too. I'm a dedicated tripod geek - my camera very rarely gets used 'off tripod' as many of my shots are taken in low light or require large DOF. Sometimes I shoot an image for use 'as is' - but I also like to get creative so shoot with the intention of combining multiple exposures - another great reason for being on the tripod. Just about the only thing you won't see in my portfolio are people.
