My Industry project will be in conjuction with Pufing Billy railway. One of my work collegues has asked me if I would be able to photograph for the Puffing Billy railway. Apparently the Puffing Billy railway images that they use are only film, and they do not pocess any digital images. Living in the local area, I was happy to help, as I knew the area locally. The amount of travel would be minimal. After the initial meeting with Puffing Billy railway media publicist David Eaton, I could not go into the workshop, or out of the bounds of where the public could travel. I could travel in these area’s on my second week, when I had the safety induction meeting. This was due to insurance/workcover issues.
In the first week, of taking photographs, I did not travel upon the Puffing Billy, but travelled in my car along the train line to get the scenic images, that Puffing Billy railway wanted. Most of the portrait images were taken at Menzies Creek station. These were the engine staff that were taken there. At Emerald lake which is the current winter end of the line, this is were I got portraits of the engine staff within the engine cabin. This is where engine staff were maintaining the engine before its journey back to Belgrave.
The second week of the exercise was travelling upon Puffing Billy itself. Asian tourists were happy for me to take there images, where else, other people from the public varied depending upon there mood.
