  • K153

    Hardly the Flying Scotsman, but you can follow the train of thought.

    The gate keeps stray sheep from wandering onto the track

    Steamy photo Mark, she was a great engine by the looks.

    And don't you know it, sheep always try to escape through the gate......

      Re: K153

      A great old engine for sure, Mark, but not quite a match for Pere Marquette shot by lleon1126 our Flickr friend who on my advice for over a year just bought an M1 Mkii
      and used it for the first time at her Eastside Camera Club (Michigan) shoot last Saturday - not bad for a beginner, eh! (worth a like or a comment, perhaps?)
      The Eastside Camera Club (ECC) is an informal and relaxed club for anyone interested in photography in Macomb County or the surrounding areas of Michigan. Members have all levels of skill, interest and equipment. Our in-person meetings begin at 6:30 PM on the 3rd Thursday of the month at the Shelby Township Activity Center, 14975 21 Mile Rd (just west of Hayes), Shelby Township, Michigan. The meetings usually consist of about 30 minutes of club business and news, 15 minutes of education usually geared toward the latest software for post-processing, and an hour or so viewing member-submitted photographs on a projection screen or large TV. This is a great way to improve your photography since your photographs are seen by a friendly group of fellow photographers. As each photograph is shown, it is accompanied by comments, praise, compliments and/or suggestions for improvement. Submission of photos is not required if you'd prefer not to. Submitted photos are deleted after each meeting, unless you agree to have them displayed on the club's Web Site. After the meeting a few members typically go out for a snack at a local restaurant. We also organize a club outing to an interesting place to photograph every couple of months. Attendance is optional, of course. We hold an annual print competition once per year with a cash prize for the best black-and-white and best color print. Everyone age 16 or older is welcome to attend one or two meetings as a test drive, then join the club for an annual membership fee in order to begin showing photos at meetings, entering the print competition, attending club outings, and attending our annual pizza party during December. We welcome you to attend a club meeting and see how much fun it would be to become a member. You can find us at our Web Site, or at our Facebook Group or send us an e-mail at [email protected]

        Pere Marquette 1225 is the name of the loco not the lovely lady, although I agree her shots are very good! Interesting that she switched from Nikon....

        I like your K153 too, but the gate is slightly amusing specially as you can't see the electric fencing very clearly.

          I am not adapting easily to the new interface, age related no doubt. Have not been able to find my uploads in the new "My Photos" gallery?
          The lady in question is Lorell, moderator of the US based Wet Canvas Photography forum. Absolutely the best mod in the world, no kidding!

            Take your time Mark, it will take us all a little while to get used to it. I find it "not easy" to find the latest posts, but all a bit new...If you can change the view to "Dark Style" the pages look really good. Uploading is straight forward, just use the BB Code from Flickr...............Mj

                Goto the Forum Index on the opening page. Right at the bottom of the page, (left hand side) is the button to click for "The Dark Side"

                It might be at the bottom of every page...………………...

                  I was looking to change to larger, darker text, Such is the ambiguity of English, Mark.
                  Apparently there is no such option, nor is there a Signature line or a Flickr link, and we are a forum without a gallery.
                  Such are some of the deficiencies characterizing this new *minimalist interface, perhaps to attract Gen Z and Millennials.
                  That demographic don't shoot Olympus, they do smart phones and post their stoned party pics on Facebook and Instagram!
                  The original interface was infinitely superior in every practical way, so it is fair to say that we now have a downgraded forum.
                  *Minimalist (my def.), 'All is nothing and nothing is everything'. . # rant ends.
