'Views in Camera - 2020', Image Archive 2 is now Complete - 4479

**********************
PLEASE SEE NOTE BELOW
**********************
The accompanying image was taken on the 17th October, 2019, and was amongst a set taken but not up-loaded to Flickr.

Both Archive Sites are now complete and all the material, 995 pictures in the first, from 10/5/2011 to 1/6/2016, is at-
www.flickr.com/photos/imarch1
Archive 2 is also now complete containing 721 pictures, from 3/6/2016 to 9/4/2018, is at-
www.flickr.com/photos/imarch2

The last most recent pictures are on the old 'Views in Camera' site, containing 995 selected images from 8/10/2011 to 21st February, 2020, is at-
www.flickr.com/photos/daohaiku
containing 'all the important stuff', and that will now remain in tact, with the 'best' pictures and videos from 2011 until the end of December, 2019 with all the attendant comments, albums, groups and view numbers.
This new site here, 'Views in Camera 2020', will now be home to pictures and videos, taken from January 1st this year and, to that end, I have uploaded this years 27 images/videos, from the old site, 'Views in Camera', to this new one, to get things going. A link has been placed on the 'Views in Camera' site, in the description of what's going on, beneath the most recent image, indicating these changes... I hope this isn't all too much of an imposition, but I have taken this opportunity of change, to sort out what was a hugely burgeoning set of material and try and bring some order to it all.

As mentioned elsewhere, see links above, the solution to the image limit here will be addressed by posting one or two pictures here, from what I consider a set when I go out shooting stuff, the main picture(s) will appear here and the support images will be available on my own website,
www.Flickr.tightfitz.com
just the supporting images will be there, with their respective titles, the links for them will be here in the text for the most appropriate main image.

The link to the new site is-
www.flickr.com/photos/VinC2020
and this will be the Flickr presence I will now use to upload pictures, for a while this will not contain too many links to the
www.Flickr.tightfitz.com
site. Since 2011, I have taken just under 50,000 shots and only 5,450 of those have found their way onto the 'Views in Camera' site and it was this number of pieces which mainly precipitated a 'tidying up'. I had expected this process to take 5 or 6 hours per Archive but it the end it actually took 22 hours for the 1st one and15 hours for the second, that's about 1m 30s per picture! which each required rebuilding with the titles, text narrative, tags, the album(s) to which they belonged and any obvious corrections or additions required... all comments and numbers of views have, sadly, been lost.

Here...
The piece used in this Header shot for the Image Archive #2 completion was part of the sequence photographed at Parkgate on 17th October last year, Image No. 4482 was in that set, but not posted on Flickr, rather this one made it-
www.flickr.com/photos/daohaiku/48923295158/
taken just a few 10s of seconds later. Some text from that shot-
'...Bringing up the rear in 'full dull', DRS class 20, 20302 which appears to be operating well so far this season after the delay in operational duties for a week, whilst the HNRC units, 20313 and 20311, operated the South Yorkshire rail-head cleaning work. At the front, 20314 is passing the Sheffield Tram/Train stop at Parkgate Retail Shopping Centre and in the background, the Parkgate & Aldwarke Steelworks. It appears the set now does not spray this section of passenger/freight track and this may well be due to the introduction of the electrified over-head wires for the Tram/Train, can't imaging the lineside 750VDC electrical equipment would take too well to the spraying of a mixture of high pressure water and 'Sandite'; it would get in everywhere one expects...'

NOTE ******************************************************
One final thing, I have just posted this picture-
www.flickr.com/photos/vinc2020/49592050453/
to the new, 'Views in CAmera 2020' Flickr presence-
www.flickr.com/photos/VinC2020
Its a shot taken in around 1971/72 of a class 40, passing south, light engine, on the West Coast Main Line, close to Jodrell Bank, the shot taken just north of Goostrey Station... it may well be worth your while taking a look and making any comments as I have almost no recollection of taking this rather startling shot...
