PUFFING BILLY, TRAIN OF LIGHTS
Photographer, Kathie Thomas and I had been invited by Puffing Billy to photograph their dress rehearsal night for their Train of Lights event (to be active during the school holidays, June/July. It was a volunteers only night.
I travelled on the train in the media carriage (with the crew of Channel Nine TV), whilst Kathie positioning herself on specific viewable roadside spots, adjacent to the railway track. (I joined her on the return trip from Gembrook to Lakeside in Emerald (Victoria, Australia). I edited 120 photos out of approx. 600.
Belgrave (Puffing Billy) railway station is situated in Belgrave, a suburb of Melbourne in the Australian state of Victoria. It is the inner terminal of the famous Puffing Billy heritage steam railway.
Belgrave (Puffing Billy) is adjacent to, and forms an interchange with, Belgrave suburban railway station, which is the outer terminal of the Belgrave line of Melbourne’s broad gauge (5 ft 3in) electric suburban network. The suburban station is accessible via a short footpath. Before this station was built, the original narrow gauge line ran from the original site of the narrow-gauge station (approximately where the existing Metro station car park is) to Selby station.
Here are 3 photos I wish to share:

NEGATIVES TO DIGITAL PROJECT
PART 4
It is a slow process to digitize all my film negatives that I have in storage from my days of using my Olympus 35 mm camera, as well as the Kodak Instamatic Camera, back in the period of the 1970s to 1980s. It is a fun project I have thrown myself into!
Here is another photo I had snapped back in the 1970s:
