Taken today on the Settle to Carlisle line between Culgaith and Newbiggin....

That is impressive, decent light and engine working hard. The arches contain the picture and provide a frame and I also like the way the rails are lit by the headlight on the loco.

Fantastic.

Great to see this. Lovely shot, thanks for sharing.

Explosive steam shot, very VERY impressed.

 

[Steelo]

Thank you folks It was amazing to see her steaming on by, working so hard

Now that is a cool take:
a vertical composition with details everywhere and…
a very imposing "smoke machine"! Groovy, Martin.

 

[Steelo]

Thank you @Kodiak Qc

That's a belter of a shot, good to see it again - caught it near Irwell vale couple of weeks ago in the snow and was lucky to catch it working - but not as hard as this - super framing with the arches.

I'd be well chuffed with this shot [emoji3]

Cracking shot.

Amazing shot

 

[Steelo]

Thanks folks

Steam in all its glory and as said well framed by the arches, personally I would crop the top down to the brickwork, thereby removing the bland triangle of sky

nice to see this

Superb. It's in our region later this year. It's great to see it working hard. £4 million refurb, I believe.

 

[Bullysrus]

Very nice indeed

Agreed would crop of the sky, exposure wise spot on

 

[aserota]

Great angle and perspective - really enjoy this shot!

 

[Steelo]

Thanks folks. Looking again, you're right about cropping the top of the image to lose the sky

 

[britco]

Wonderfull shot
