Description Remember the 35mm SLR my dad bought secondhand? Well I just got some photos back from Boots taken with the Minolta Dynax, this being one of them.

Another perfect way to christen a camera, my dad heads out on a Saturday whilst on call at work to capture 60019 "Bittern" working the Cathedrals Express from London Victoria to Worcester pausing at Clapham Junction on 28th November 2009. I was unsure as to image quality, concerned it would be badly misaligned and out of focus and all the rest, as per usual when my dad takes photos. Not so. This image has been rotated a slight bit (1 degree clockwise and cropped to size) but has had no highlights or shadowing done at all. And thanks to the option of ordering 35mm films on CD, I have no need of a scanner. Just awesome.

Good shot of an old engine with an older camera!

Indeed. Never knew 35mm could be so good having only used compacts...
