    Oliver Cromwell at rest

    A first for me, and its been a while since I posted, a chuffing train

    I read that Oliver Cromwell was being taken out of service on Monday as her ticket had expired, and Sunday was her last run before she goes in for overhaul, so I bought an all day ticket and spent the day floating back and forth on the Great Central line.

    I have processed this to give it a feeling you see in the train paintings of the late Shepard, and to try and bring out the majesty of the locomotive, I hope it works

    Nice and atmospheric but f2.8 hasn't done your DOF any favours. There's also the halo and hint of CA around the smoke box.

    Cheers,
    John

          You have captured the majesty of the loco perfectly.

                Nice shot, one of my favourite locos

                    I also "just" remember steam, generally with rose tinted glasses.

                    If I recall correctly, they were dirty, poorly maintained, rarely on time and if you were brave enough to put your head out of the window, you got a face full of "smuts".

                    Ahhh ............. those were the days!

                        Vignetting is a bit heavy for my taste but a good capture of an impressive piece of engineering.

                            super shot, just sort out that halo - might be due to download from flickr - just looked and on flickr there is very little evidence of a halo so download it is - often happens when you download at a smaller size to that at which you have uploaded
