Comments from Members of the Railway Photographic Society

Less than a dozen of my photographs have been previously published and none have been seen in print since 1966. As a consequence of this situation, my name is virtually unknown outside the circle of friends I made as a member of the Railway Photographic Society. The society itself ceased to exist when its founder, Maurice Earley passed away and indeed several of the members with whom I became acquainted during the years of my membership have also now left us.

In order to give visitors to this website an idea of the standard of photographs available, I felt that this could best be done by passing on some of the comments and criticisms made all those years ago by my fellow R.P.S. members. Fortunately, I still have all the criticism sheets for my entries to the folios and from these I have extracted remarks which, needless to say, are unbiased, independent, and also serve to give an insight into how my fellow photographers rated my work.

This is the best of your entries in this round. The sunshine has put a bit of life into the picture and gives it some impact. A nice study of an un-rebuilt V2. Well presented.

S.E. Teasdale

A pleasing and nicely composed shot combined with very good print quality. Well done.

W.I.O. Moffat

Very good indeed.

S. Rickard

I like this very much, and I like the range of print tones, especially in the sky. Neatly presented. Well done.

G.W. Morrison

The subject is well placed, composition very good.

D. Singleton

Yes, I like this very much. Apart from anything else I think that V2 s are a help to the photograph.

E.G. Ashton

I like this better than the A4 shot, it fits better in the picture space and is more pleasing as a result. An excellent study of a V2. Very fine.

E. Oldham
