Our vintage train photography courses with the East Lancashire Railway are building up a head of steam!
We hope to attract steam train enthusiasts from Manchester Lancashire Cheshire and beyond to the famous East Lancs line with behind the scenes visits to maintenance areas not open to the public and expert tuition in a relaxed, friendly small group setting.
Our first courses run later this month and we were very pleased to get this media coverage of our courses from the Bury Times.
Look out for leaflets and posters going up soon and of course you can book via the link here for our vintage train photography courses
What’s Involved on Train Photography Courses?
The day is suitable for photographers of all abilities as we tailor the content to your requirements and the small group size means that there is plenty of opportunity for one to one tuition on exactly what you want from your photographs of steam and diesel trains
We the day begins at the ELR main station in Bury with a welcome over a cup of team and then we begin in earnest developing your technique both in our classroom at Bolton Street Station and on the platforms.
After a quick sandwich lunch (included in the price) we board the train, shooting more images as we make our way to the picturesque surroundings of Irwell Valley station which has great vantage points for photographing trains as they make their way up and down the line.
After rejoining the train, we make our way back to Bury where we lift the barrier to let you into areas the public cannot see and we spend a good amount of time with the maintenance teams at work on the engines, getting up close to the trains and providing you with scores of opportunities to take photographs of the trains and the historic workshops.
