Intercity Swallow's Photos
Welcome
Thanks for visiting my Fotopic Gallery. My name is Josh Bliszko and I'm a teenage railway photographer. I live in South Wales, which is where most these photographs were taken, but I am also an avid traveller who would likes to go somewhere else for a photograph unlike other enthusiasts.

Most of the images on this website were shot with a Canon EOS 300D, which took its last photograph in February 2008 due to a problem that couldnt be fixed. A Canon EOS 10D has since replaced it, and will be my main shooter. Considering it is 6 years old, there does not seem to be much difference between it and its other sister models.

I don't class myself as professional - I'm just somebody with a camera who takes pictures of trains. If anyone is interested in my images, please contact me at josh.bliszko[at]gmail.com

A season of transition for me - Having moved to Northumberland, I practically have a new environment to work around. There is a lot of interest up here for me. Photos of diversions, NatEx HSTs, Carnforth Open Day, 40145 and other misc bits.

Spring 2008 (34 images)
The true start of the year in my eyes....The sun is out longer and we don't have rain that regularly now. My efforts are now beginning to expand - I bought my first Lineside pass at a Heritage Railway and I'm oftenly looking for new photographs on Google Earth!

August 2007 (27 images)
August's photos are based on my annual trip up North - This year I visited the East Lancashire Railway and then went on to do a North East Rover. A large range of special movements and workings are captured, aswell as a tour with 40145 to Fort William and the Grand Central route learning diagrams with DRS 47's.
