Vanmanyo - Rail enthusiast from the West Midlands

Hello, my name is Vanmanyo, I'm a rail enthusiast from the Midlands. I am an aspiring rail photographer, and love taking images of trains!

My aim on Wikipedia is to provide train-related articles with the highest quality photographs; I usually follow several 'rules' when changing a photo on Wikipedia with one of my images:

• There must be a reason for a change - I don't change images for the sake of having my image on a Wikipedia page. These changes include:
  • Previous image is blurry or low quality
  • Previous image features an older variant of what's being shown (such as an outdated livery)
  • Previous image does not fully show what's being shown (such as a poorly cropped image)
• The image must show what the Wikipedia article is about - and be relevant in the 21st century. The image must also be framed well, highlighting the whole object.
• The image must be, in my view, more useful for the average user in terms of information shown etc.

Obviously, sometimes I may change an image wrongly, but I always try and be as unbiased as possible :D

These are some of my most interesting Wikipedia commons images I have taken. Most of these are with my Canon EOSM5, some are with other on-hire cameras or my mobile device.
