Would anyone be able to advise on any good spots between Bridgnorth and Hampton Loade. If so, please could you provide info on how to access.

I am also open to suggestions around any of the stations within 10 minutes walk. Some of the stations themselves provide good photo opportunities such as Bradley, too.

Thanks in advance.]]> 4 Mon, 05 Sep 2022 05:21:04 +0000 https://www.national-preservation.com/threads/cr3-files.1421433/ https://www.national-preservation.com/threads/cr3-files.1421433/ invalid@example.com (46223) 46223 6 Mon, 13 Dec 2021 16:17:38 +0000 https://www.national-preservation.com/threads/focusing-advice-for-santa-light-trains.1420459/ https://www.national-preservation.com/threads/focusing-advice-for-santa-light-trains.1420459/ invalid@example.com (Stuart Chapman) Stuart Chapman
So I am interested in what others have tried. In the pitch black before the train, there is no way of getting or seeing a focal point. I have also tried auto focus with a large number of focal points, but you cant do this until the train is in shot, but have yet to perfect this.

Would be interested in what others have done to...

All these locations are accessed from public areas, as the CVR does not issue lineside permits.
Starting at Kingsley & Froghall station, the road bridge is a good spot for a view of the whole station –

I am planning on visiting the GWSR for the first time on the 29th May for their GWR 175 Event, and I need some help on some good photo spots for me, without the use of a lineside permit. Could anyone please list some good spots with details please?

All help would be very much appreciated

Its Achilles heel is that it has twice got a piece of debris on the lens, which is intrusive on long range shots. The first time they fixed it under guarantee. Now they want £80 to dismantle and clean the lens. Plus postage. Very expensive for a simple procedure, and not far off the cost of a new camera.

Are there any freelancers that can do this job any cheaper?]]> 2 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 11:38:11 +0000 https://www.national-preservation.com/threads/svr-photo-guide.5590/ https://www.national-preservation.com/threads/svr-photo-guide.5590/ invalid@example.com (southernman) southernman I know of a few good places would like people to share any places they think are well worth a shot?

My places include:
Crossing cottage (northbound & Southbound)
Fotters Bank
Eardington Station
