OK - some of the pictures are nice.

However - the choice of locations could be better.

Putney station is hardly the most photogenic station, and by a quick look in Google Maps the bridge that you photographed the 37s going under by the looks of it would be a better location lighting wise as the 37s are in full dull...

You need to start moving away from stations on trips into London and start picking more overbridges that aren't caged over. Likewise for Clapham Junction - that picture of the 377s going through the area is cluttered with lineside equipment. I wouldn't have uploaded that photo myself - a better location for Southern stuff is Wandsworth Common IMO. Vauxhall IS a good location though IMHO.

FINALLY! , You finally say one of my picture is good!.

The only 'good' photo in that batch I'd say is the top one of 450 068. Try to centre the trains in the photo though - then start moving onto more obscure angles.

And for gods sake, start using a tripod - or at least, don't shuffle it around when videoing.

haha Great horns there

I can't help but notice the "Stand well away from the edge of platform 2" warning was a little late (if the 458 was indeed passing platform 2) !

Some cracking photos Fred, although I do echo Tom's sentiments. Better centering of the trains in photos, and lineside locations can work wonders, but practice makes perfect.

ah, one time there was one at new cross gate, saying that, when the train had just passed through.

Trust me the announcements at putney are a nightmare, i have to announce them sometimes as it comes up after the reading passes wandsworth town!

You need to start moving away from stations on trips into London

I'd personally say move away from London altogether and start photographing other, more interesting movements.
