Outstanding shot. I think your black and white has a completely different mood. I think of a great shot here but the other is Harry Potter's station....

Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photograph at the Great Central Railway on a rainy day during Summer. I am self taught, so I am learning new things every day.

Time

I had spent the day hopping on and off steam trains with my little girl and my friend, as a fun day out. It was early afternoon, and we were headed for the cafe to shelter from the rain. I saw the train approaching, whipped out my camera and took a few shots as it approached and passed me. It was a wet day in August 2014.

Lighting

I didn't have time to think about lighting, as the train was moving relatively quickly, and I had to reach for my camera even quicker!

Equipment

The photograph was taken with a Samsung WB800F. No other equipment was used.

Inspiration

I was admiring the trains and loved the way that the steam swirled around the train.

Editing

I used Vignetting on my camera to make it slightly darker in the background.

In my camera bag

I just have my camera. I am hoping to upgrade my camera in the future to a DSLR camera. I would like to focus more on landscape and nature shots.

Feedback

Enjoy it, try to capture the atmosphere of the moment, but try not to overthink it.
