Thought I'd share some images from my day of "photting" some trains at the Severn Valley Railway here in the UK. Engine No. 1501 may feature as numerous examples, basically because she's a hellfire little beastie and always puts on a good show for the camera (She's a show off!)
Image 1: 1501

Image 2: 1501 panned
1501 on the same run up the bank but this time a pan shot. Can't decide if it's in focus or not, or if I need to work on my panning skills! As you can see the ticket inspector is rather engaged with her spirited run up the bank!Same equipment as above but this time ISO 250, 128mm, F/22, at 1/30th second.
Image 3: 6990 "Wibbleslack" (or at least as we call her sometimes)

Image 4 (and my favourite of what seems to be a good bunch!): 4566 across the rooftops
Across the rooftops: GWR Prairie pulls her heavy train across Bewdley North Viaduct on the Severn Valley Railway.
It does seem to me that I had a good day out on the lineside, though not always on the actual lineside and the X-Pro2 performed well and did what I wanted it to do. Hopefully these images give a good account of my hobby and skill because there's some seriously good togs on here! Still learning and I think I always will be. Anyone who wants to see more or has advice etc, please do comment because I only learn through fair feedback
One question though, say I set the Camera to Velvia and certain settings like sharpness and highlights and shadows etc but when imported into Lightroom, the pictures seem to change from what they seemed to look like as I load them up. Auto tone and all presets on import are turned off so I assume it's just Adobe being ruhhish, any suggestions so I can get the best out of my kit?
Thanks
Chris
