Now that's just not fair 24c in winter! I don't think we've seen that this summer!!!

My first comment was a little tongue in cheek, but I keep coming back to look at this.
It really is a lovely image.

But I had to go back and check to see what, if any, captions I'd added. Recently they have just been statements like " Fish being smoked", probably superfluous, come to think of it!

I think a title can be useful, but surely, if a caption is necessary, then it is making up for something lacking in the shot?

As Snappy says, lovely rich tones, with the lights stopping just short of over exposed. I like this a lot.

Thanks Tim. I hadn't considered that crop. I suppose I was blinkered as my initial aim was to photograph the engine. Holding a piece of paper over the screen ( I'm in work now ), makes me think you are right.

I had hoped to get the rider a little sharper, there is still some motion blur visible. But yes, it was a right pig to get those!

As for the engine owner...he does look a cheerful chap doesn't he? That's why I couldn't resist zooming out and including him in the shot

Went to the Woodvale Rally on Sunday. A strange gathering of car entusiasts, model aircraft enthusiats, car boot sale and fairground. But fun day.

Here are a few shots. I know the wall of death aren't as sharp as they could be, but, to be fair, the guy wouldn't stop for me to take his photo!!

I like the idea of the random shot and see what comes of it.

Sorry to continue this, but;
There was a case in this country where a cyclist was doing in excess of 30mph (I think it was) on a pavement. He had time to shout "Get out of the way, because I'm not stopping", before ploughing into a group of teenagers and killing a 16 year old girl. For which he got a £4000 fine. A far as I'm concerned that was manslaughter at the least. If he had time to shout, then he had time to stop.
