Railway Photographs by Doug Johnson
Welcome
Hi, welcome to my collection of photographs. I started many years ago with a "Zorki 4K" and moved onto several Pentax SLR's before starting on the Canon EOS range. In 2001 I went digital when I bought a Fuji 4900 zoom. In 2003 I sold that camera and purchased a Cannon EOS 10D. I have now moved onto an EOS 20D and obtained Sigma 24-70 EX and Canon100-400L. I hope you enjoy the collection as it grows.
