Tornado at Ribblehead Viaduct

[ST1]

This one's not square but it is Black and White or should that be Monochrome

[JBW]

call it what you want but it's good

[Shadowman]

Nicely done.

[Donald]

Lovely.

Very nice Peter. I'd love to see this followed up with some closer shots...

[Mike Buckley]

Wonderful composition!

Richard this is about as close as I can give you for this outing the subsequent frames to this became cluttered with other spectators as I panned right.

However if you're interested this LINK gives you information on when and how this locomotive was built.

Very nice shot Peter - it's got it all. The lovely foreground adds a lot.

I agree with everyone that this is a lovely mono photo, but the wonderful colours of the loco and carriage in your image of post #7 tempt me to want to see the first one in colour also.

Cheers.

A striking image. You're timing was perfect--the placement of the train relative to the hills makes a great composition.

First one is masterly....second one is colorfully pleasing

Just for you Philip

And finally just for completeness, here's my first image as Tornado was approaching the viaduct.
PS. I think my car is third from the right at the road side

Just for you Philip

Thank you, Peter - wonderful image.

Cheers.

Some very nice images here, Peter, looking that them all, I would venture that there is too much sky overall. You seem to have sky 1/3rd, Engine and train 1/3rd and forescape 1/3rd. You need to think "what does the sky add?" It is nice, but does not take us to the heart of the image. I would crop it as much as I could - without losing any smoke!

That's a good call Jim thanks

I like all of them, but most of all I like #1, the mono.
