Images of Transport by Alan Mitchell
Welcome
A selection of images illustrating the railway scene around Scotland since 1980, and a wide variety of photographs taken over many visits to Switzerland.

Photos are taken with Olympus equipment, OM10 / OM1 / OM4 cameras. A variety of films has been used, Fujichrome 100, then Kodakchrome 64 and 200, and latterly Fuji Provia 100 and 400. Slides have been scanned on a Nikon CoolScan V slide scanner.

Digital photography has taken over employing Olympus E1 and E30. Although these cameras use the smaller 4/3 sensor, the Olympus lenses give excellent results.
