A Full Head of Steam..
A shot of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, taken not far from Beck Hole.. it was pouring down that day and you don’t have to look too closely to see the rain. I used hdr to give an effect.. something I like to do with Steam Engine shots.. it seems to take the shot back to the steam era.
Taken in the North York Moors National Park.

Beautiful Capture. Your profile says “I hope my photo’s make people think “I’d like to go there”, and this is exactly what I was thinking when I saw your photo. Well done !
Scott Denny
Totally excellent capture. Great timing and patience.

Cheers for the kind comments :-)
There’s plenty of good photo opportunities to catch steam engines in action when you visit the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, lots of fun..

Nice shot. I’d love to see more steam though. I think portrait would have worked well for this shot TG, what do you reckon?

Another great one.

I took a shot like this of Gresley’s ‘Union of South Africa’ coming out of Goathland (not far from Beck Hole). It was too warm for a decent head of steam (usually best on really cold days). Unfortuantely, those pics are on slides/negs and I don’t have a scanner….yet.
Nice shot all the same.

Thanks to whoever made the purchase of this shot… like the engine, I’m chuffed, it’s my first Redbubble sale :-)
I hope it meets your expectations…

lensman,
I know the area well, and it’s perfect for me.. I can go hiking, taking photo’s of the waterfalls, as well as the added bonus of steam trains.. Beautiful area.

It was me :)
I have bought it for my Dad for his birthday and I think it will blow him away!!! It’s beautiful and my dad is such a steam train fanatic!!!!!
TallGuy
Thanks Sonia,
I hope your Dad enjoys it. I was soaked through to the skin getting this shot, it was worth it for this shot alone.
Happy Birthday Wishes to your Dad :-)
