Over more than fifty years, the railways of the Eastern Counties have seen a great number of changes. In the early 1970s, many stations, even some of the smaller ones, had a resident diesel shunter for moving empty carriages or servicing the goods yard. First generation diesel multiple units ran most of the secondary lines, with locomotive-hauled expresses being used on the InterCity routes and the Harwich boat trains.Today, modern electric trains speed northwards to Norwich and Kings Lynn, while comfortable diesel units serve the cross-country routes. New electric or bi-mode sets are now operating on other lines. Semaphore signalling has mostly given way to centralised colour light systems. Read more

This ICM (intentional camera movement) book delves into how to move your camera and how to choose subjects. It is full of 'two photo' shots - one shot still and the other with ICM. The photographs are analyzed for why that particular subject was chosen and what determines the type of camera motion for each ICM shot.Other photographs show the study of a subject and what happens with different moves at the same shutter speeds. Roxanne explains her post processing philosophy, her use of DXO PureRaw2, NIK filters and layers of color or textures she shoots to add when she wants more color or drama.The book is meant for those initially starting their ICM journey as well as more experienced ICM shooters who are still finding the right movement elusive and would like more insight into subject choices.ICM is not like other types of photography where there is a recipe of settings that will give you the results you want. Please don't expect to find one here - or in fact from anyone who shares ICM techniques. It takes visualization and a lot of practice to develop your movements and style. This book focuses on how to visualize and ways to move.My latest work is available for viewing on Instagram: @roxanne_overton_photographyFree blogs can be found on my website: www.roxanneoverton.com Read more

Every photographer wants the same thing. They want to take consistently good pictures. Actually, they want their photographs to be exceptional. But when you ask most photographers what makes a photograph work, it's very hard for them to describe what they mean. They will hem and haw about how it depends on the type of photograph, or the subject, or ... Roxanne's book on critique will prove definitively that it doesn't matter what subject you shoot. You will evaluate each photograph by the exact same standards. It takes something that seems very complex and makes it very simple. Anyone can do it.We all photograph exactly the same thing every time we click the shutter. We shoot light, matter and atmosphere. Every time. So if we are shooting exactly the same thing, doesn't it make sense that every photograph shares the same elements or building blocks? Poor photography doesn't use those building blocks effectively while great photography does. That's the difference. Critique - A Path To Creating Exceptional Photography will teach you how to evaluate individual photographs so you understand why they are good or bad. That understanding will teach you what you want to incorporate into your own work. If a photographer doesn't understand what makes an exceptional photograph exceptional, how can they ever hope to do consistently good work? If they can't put into spoken language the elements needed, how will they achieve their photographic goals - their visual language? Without the basic understanding of what works, the path to creating good work can be exceptionally slow and frustrating.This revolutionary concept will break down barriers that keep talented people from reaching their full potential. Roxanne has spent years distilling these building blocks into an easy formula to help you learn what makes an exceptional photograph so good. Once a photographer understands why the photograph works, it becomes much easier for them to follow a path to excellence.Roxanne offers examples of completely different styles of photography and points out how they are related. Read and discover how a portrait and a steam engine are judged by the exact same criteria. Read and understand how once you see this, you will start refining your own eye in determining what you like and how it was achieved. Critique - A Path To Creating Exceptional Photography will let you move forward in your skill level at your own pace. It's easy and it's fun. You will learn how to use the internet as a multi-faceted tool that will result in shooting better images. Once you know what you like and why you like it, your own personal vision will start to expand and refine. You will learn to think differently when you look at things. You will learn to see. And you will learn to capture what you want your viewer to see. You will be on the path to consistently fine photography! Read more
