Such a beautiful photo of that flower, it looks almost on fire. How did you get the background so dark?

Hi AP,
Thank you so much for your comments, the back ground for the shot is actually our fence, I spot meter the flower for an accurate exposure which throws the dark background even darker, throw in a little photoshop just to tweak the levels and bingo there you have it.

On Saturday, there was a rather special visitor to Peterborough, she is an old timer with very lovely lines......
So for all the steam nerds out there, I present "60103" aka The Flying Scotsman as she steamed out of Peterborough...

I'm not very familiar with trains, but it's a very nice photo! It really captures the elegance of the scene

Wow, great photo, Rads! It is wonderful to see The Flying Scotsman in action. I am also glad that you took the picture in black and white because it helps draw the eyes to all of those wonderful details. It's such a classic picture, and I absolutely love it!

That's such a striking photo. Do you sell any of your work? I was just thinking how that flying Scotsman shot would make a great postcard or even something to hang on the wall.

Hi AP,
I don't sell any of my work, I just do photography for enjoyment really, years ago in the days of film I very very nearly went pro, I used to specialise in Black and White and would hand print to 30x20inches, I did the usual weddings etc.
Rads

P.S. Hope to visit the BBMF at RAF Conningsby in the near future and get shots of Spitfires etc

I think you really could sell your work! Though I'm grateful to you for sharing them for free here ah you like planes? Just like my brother, he has dragged me off to see fly pasts by the Red Arrows and such!
