What a fabulous day shooting great cars and fun people at Gerotek. Thank you Ralph, Clint, Gary. And you guys call that work?! Count me in for the next one

Another shot taken on 14/08/2010 with a 1996 Sigma 170-500mm f/5-6.3 APO Aspherical for Nikon.
It is not one of these new wonder lenses with VR, OS or IS Image Stabilisation.
The shot was panned by hand, no Tripod or Monopod or Gimbal.
Sometimes you just can’t beat old glass and good technique…

Isn’t she beautiful….! 4am-10am photo shoot with Camerastuff to Capital Park Pretoria and Friends of the Rail who unstintingly restore and maintain a few of what’s left of our National Heritage Steamers in their private capacity with no government and very little private sector funding. I am happy to pay a measly R150-00 for a mornings shoot. FOTR were very accommodating, running Engine 2650 back and forth so that about 60 of us could get some awesome shots.

Thanks to our culture-less management at Transnet who have taken over 15 years to finally wake up and “might” now begin pushing restoration and preservation work for steam tourism. A bit late, as over 90% of our steamers have been plundered and turned into scrap at various grave yards around the country.
