Hi folks,
Welcome to my new website which contains a growing number of archive pictures and all the new stuff taken since the demise of Fotopic. My original website has been transferred to another company and can be found here:
http://paulbigland.pikfu.net/
It's not being updated, so here's the place to come and look for all the new stuff and a growing collection of older material.
STOP PRESS (7th May 2012)
My website now features a blog. You'll find it at the bottom of the menu on the left hand side of the main page. I hope that it will provide both insight - and more importantly, entertainment!
Meanwhile, uploading to the 2005 gallery is finished and I've moved on to 2006. I've also added many other different galleries featuring both railways and travel. I'll be adding more pictures every few days.
Meanwhile, I've changed the site by adding a few new features and rejigging the layout slightly.
Plus, I've set up an online shop which allows people to buy prints and a small range of other products directly from this website.
This doesn't apply to all the galleries yet as the photos loaded in the early galleries aren't big enough to print properly (they were for web use only). I'll be amending this in the future as I reload those images at a bigger size. Essentially, all photos loaded since August 2011 are big enough.
I'd welcome any feedback on what people think and what else they might like to see for sale.
.............................................................................................................................................
If you're on Facebook and you'd like to know what's going on with my website (updates, new features, comments etc) you can join the Paul Bigland Photography Facebook page by using the link at the bottom of this page.
I'm still adding some of the thousands of pictures that I had on Fotopic to this Zenfolio site. This is being done on a daily basis at the moment with a few thousand already added in the past few months. As I'm doing this I'm trawling through the archives, re-editing pictures before adding them - either to existing galleries or to new ones. This means that many pictures which haven't been seen before are now on display here.
Many of the older pictures will be added to yearly galleries for now. 2004 and 2005 have been completed whilst 2006 is up to April. In the fullness of time some of these pictures will move to TOC specific galleries.

ABOUT ME:
I'm a freelance professional photographer and journalist who works (mostly) in and around the rail industry.
As well as my journalistic endeavors I’ve worked for most of the major players in the industry, this includes: The DfT, Network Rail, Hitachi, Siemens, Alstom, ATOC, The Go- Ahead group, Virgin, First Great Western, National Express group, Northern Rail, Grand Central, London Underground and First Capital Connect.
My pictures and articles appear in a host of magazines including RAIL, Modern Railways, The International Railway Journal, The Railway Magazine, Railways Illustrated, Tramways and Urban Transit and Railnews. I also supply pictures to the national newspapers and media which includes The Times, Daily Mail, The Guardian, The Independent The Telegraph and the BBC. Pictures have also been used in many books over the years – including the Lonely Planet series of travel guides.
Besides the railway images I’ve a large library of worldwide travel pictures featuring dozens of countries from all corners of the planet.
