algy Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Well, whether you want 'em or not here's the next ten, and thank your luck stars I didn't go back on the Sunday. To be honest I'm only uploading them for Edgar, I know how much he enjoys my 'snaps'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
middlec Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Excellent photos as usual, Algy. I remember I went to the steam fair at the Leigh Arms, Acton Bridge last year, a much smaller version of this, but still very enjoyable.

algy Posted August 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 I shall upload the final ten sometime tomorrow, that should really make Egbert's day. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 What's the 5th one Algy (says S 917 on the side). It has a sort of rugged military look to it compared to all the others and much smaller wheels as if it needed to be a little more 'agile'. (Ok so probably a stupid question and an equally stupid comment but you know me.. I have to ask regardless ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleopatra Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Blummin heck Alge...! How do you get so finely focused with your pics? Can even see the squashed ant on the front roll of the steam roller, NU3041, and look at those two birds going at it with each other in the tree in the third photo.

algy Posted August 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Dizz, if I remember correctly, painted on the side was "WAR DEPT. ROADS", a Foden steam wagon produced for the army probably the 'Royal Pioneer Corps'. Flo, as I said in an earlier post to Dizz, it's down to the Leica lens, I just press the shutter button!, trust you to spot the two birds 'at it'.

Dizzy Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Thanks Algy PS I can't see the birds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algy Posted August 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Thanks Algy PS I can't see the birds Dizz, watching pigeons mate is not a healthy pastime, anyway you really need binoculars to see them. PS. I'm getting worried about Florence she is developing some disturbing hobbies!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleopatra Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Thanks Algy PS I can't see the birds Sheesh....! Get your binoculars out, you might see them better. Ahhh...! I see Alge has magnified and inset them for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Either you two are winding me up or there's something wrong with my monitor as even if I zoom in I can't see them (other than on Algy's insert). Not that I want to see a pic of pigeons mating of course...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RingoDave Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 I love these (and your other) photos, Algy. You really do get some incredibly good ones and, as stated, beautiful focus throughout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
