Description From a red 8F, to a black one.

Britain's only mainline freight loco L.M.S. 8F 2-8-0 No 48151 crosses Kent Viaduct, Arnside with "The Lakelander" in appauling weather.

I am convinced this location can produce a mastershot, but this isn't it.

I think you have made the most out of the weather conditions and I find the photo really amazing! Very nice.

It comes close, though, weather not withstanding.

I think the problem is that you have too much sky and water, and not enough train. Try shooting at your highest possible resolution (if you haven't already) and do some serious cropping. It might not look good on DA because they really can't handle really wide shots, but I think you'll be pleased with the result.

Yes, if you can manage to shoot a steamer on this bridge when the region isn't suffering from English weather, it would certainly be epic.

Great long-distance/wide-angle shot! Don't worry, you'll get your mastershot sometime soon...

I agree, if the conditions were a bit better when this was taken, such as a nice sunrise or sunset, it would've looked awesome. But we all know you have no control over that. So congratulations on a very nice picture! It's composed very well.

Less rain, less ripple, and less DMU would have been better.

As it is,

It's refreshing compared to what I have now--29 degrees C with humidity and no cloud cover.

I Agree.
Would Look Good With A Sunset Reflecting In The Water And Slightly Closer To The Action

You should have taken me with you.

Oh look a DMU too

Good picture, considering the conditions.

Maybe next time, and there will be a next time....

It would have been impractical really though, I started out in Blackburn
