Helpful Posts: The trouble with photographing steam trains is that there is a lot of waiting around for about 10second of action. So you have to fill the time. This was taken from the station platform at a small hamlet called Horton in Ribblesdale. Pen-Y-Ghent is the hill in the BG and is one of the more well known landmarks in the Western Dales. Mono because although I quite liked the colour version, I can never quite achieve the luminosity in the clouds that mono seems to provide.
Fuji X-T2 plus 55-200mm lens.

Re: Clouds Building Over Pen-y-Ghent
The B/W is nicely handles but what I really like here is the composition. Not one that would ever occur to me Quite effective. Well done.

What an interesting and beautiful image John. I agree with Dan the composition is fabulous. It's splendidly complex and simple at the same time.

Re: Clouds Building Over Pen-y-Ghent
Looks good to me; the whites are white while the blacks are black and plenty of tones in between

Re: Clouds Building Over Pen-y-Ghent
Thanks all for the comments.
John, I only discovered the joys of the Dales after I retired. All that time wasted.

Re: Clouds Building Over Pen-y-Ghent
Nice shot John,
Almost timeless - apart from the smudged contrail - which sadly attracts my attention, had you considered its removal?
Just a thought,
Dave

Re: Clouds Building Over Pen-y-Ghent
Thanks Mike, thanks Sharon, thanks Dave.
To be honest Dave, I hadn't noticed it until you pointed it out. Just shows you what a fresh pair of eyes will see. But what's there is there and I think I probably would have left it as is.
