G'day Dave Been wondering what had happened to the Kiwi contingent :-)>
That event looks like it would have been great fun to shoot, provided you could unfreeze your fingers long enough to press the shutter release. My favourites: 3-0798 3-0830 3-0874 4-0924 4-0959 4-1031 I also so like 2-0766, except for those bloody transmission lines! As an aside, my son is currently somewhere over the Tasman as I write - spending a few days doing railway photography around Arthur's Pass. Probably freeze his arse off!
