I love photos of trains, old and new and this one is special. I like the POV and great detail you captured. BW suits the age of the loco - I say that because it's older than me - just!I Shoot A Canon

Yep- the mono treatment fills it in nicely and I can almost feel the soot in my hair as it flies past, whistle blowing ...

Thanks Grumpy! The sky was white and quite cloudy and the sun above them was at camera left, making a HUGE softbox of the sky. Black locomotives are a nightmare to photograph in full sunshine unless you can get it early in the morning or late in the evening when it is low on the horizon.Originally posted by Grumpy John View PostComment
