Nicely done. Every time I've tried to get an old steam engine shot, the background is cluttered and a disaster. This is wonderful.

This is some heavy duty metal! I love how the train just pops out of the photo. The high key background works wonders in this shot.

Thanks Guys. I took this and some others with the 14-42 ( Always keep one in the bag) and was amazed at the quality of these kit lenses (Again) . When I looked at this with the theme being metal I though the only way this was going to work was B/W , contrasty and in your face to show the power of these machines.

Excellent! This and your elephant photos made me think of the artist David Shepherd who specialised in elephants and locomotives

WoW! Isolating it like this sure brings out the power and the utility of the design.
