    A Smokey Collet in the Sun

    Yes I know it's pointing the wrong way

    Collett 2251 Class 0-6-0 No. 3205 just leaving Staverton on the South Devon Railway:

    Note: I went to the South Devon Railway's gala yesterday but only took my 16-35 which, as good as it is for landscapes, is rubbish for railway photography and this is about the only image I thought worth sharing

    Cheers,
    John

    I like the light on the loco, like you say, shame its facing the wrong way.

      Perhaps a tad too dark John, though can see with it facing the wrong way you didn't have much to work with.

            A good image John - I particularly like the light flooding along the side of the loco and carriages

              Thanks John

              It was a difficult shoot as I was short of time and could only spare a few minutes at Staverton where the (very low) sun was in direct alignment with the track severely limiting shooting angles - aggravated by only packing the 16-35 so this 'glint plus exhaust' was the best I could manage.

              Cheers,
              John

                Like that just as it is, brings to mind those classic shots by Colin Garrett...
