Fiery Five in Colour
by pgweber
When I showed this in mono, I was glad that Andrew & Cliff's comments showed they appreciated the dated look I was trying to achieve.
However I do think that there were some nice colours lost to the mono conversion.
Anyway, here it is again, 44932 at Ais Gill on Saturday 13th August 2011.

I prefer the colour too but like to try something nostalgiac looking sometimes. I wish I had some of the sunlight that you got, David. You must have been sat on the wall for your shot?
Both our shots were quite smoky as the engine was having to work pretty hard. The exhaust was as it came out of the funnel, no PP here. I believe that could be enhanced in film days with a bit of "dodging"?

I was wasn't sitting on the wall, I was just behind it. And yes that evening the light was just about the best I've had for a steam train shot. A woman standing next to me got her almost identical picture into one of the glossy railway magazines.

Co-incidentally just about a year ago I posted a similar picture in this gallery of this same engine in exactly that location. One of these days we'll meet up at Ais Gill.
