01: Mirfield in the 60s and 70s
Welcome
Hello, welcome to my website (started March 3rd, 2007).
I intend to build up a library of railway images taken from my photographic collection during the 1960s onwards. I live in Halifax, West Yorkshire, hence lots of photos from Mirfield and Leeds areas. At first I had a Kodak box camera, however I soon went on to a Yashica twin lens relflex camera (1962/63) which was very reliable though quite large. I went to 35mm in 1964 with dreadful results using a Mamiya SLR (not sure of model) - hence few pics from this year. Eventually got better results from this camera. Then in late 1966 I obtained a Minolta SR1 camera. This produced excellent photographs and I used it until well into the 1990s. Currently I have a wonderful digital Canon EOS 10D (with 14-50mm, 50mm and 75-300mm lenses) and also a Minolta Z1 - which, for a compact camera, produces some really good results - and has an incredible x10 zoom.

Thank you for visiting this site.
