We are thrilled to share our new Steam Train Photography Courses video which showcases the photography courses that we run in partnership with the East Lancashire Railway
The video gives a flavour of all the aspects of the photography courses that we run at the ELR which take you behind the scenes into the engine sheds and the famous signal box (the largest of its kind in the UK).
It also shows how we work with the fabulous volunteers on the railway who are happy to stop and pose for our photography course delegates, showing the ‘people’ side of the railway, along with the magnificent locomotives.
What does the Steam Train Photography Course Include?
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.
