john_pijl Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Wheb travelling I use to make pics of trains and oher railway related objects. If you want to have a look at them go to: www.trainsofeurope.nl I would like to be informed of nice locations for taking pictures of Spanisch trains in the Madrid and 'Sierra de Gredos' area<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry_ Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 The local police (in Spain) may have differing thoughts of your hobby. After the train bombings a few weeks back, you may check with the local tourist office and find out what is going to be allowed. The civil rights known to exist in the U.S.A. may not be so recognized in Spain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren m green Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Ah Gerald you make me smile Civil rights in the US? since when. You try pointing a camera at a train in the US or even a boat in a busy port or come to that try it at some place like Kennedy airport. Spain is a lot more photographer friendly. The rules in Europe are pretty simple at present. Don't shoot inside an airport. No shots of military instalations or government buildings and certainly don't try to photograph military personal. Otherwise knock yourself out. Can't help you with Madrid locations but if in the UK, St Marys Cray station in Kent (30 mins south of london from victoria train station) allows some good views of the Euro tunnel trains as they fly by.. Enjoy Spain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john falkenstine Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 Darren, I photograph trains/airports/airplanes ALL of the time in the US. As a matter of fact, standing on the tracks is a piece of cake. So you're all wet with your response.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
