Full Steam Ahead!
Jacobite Express at Lochailort (Lady of the Braes Roman Catholic Church)
Of course I did shoot the classic viaduct shot (patience...it will be posted) but I got the idea for this shot from the Photography Online YouTubers where they shot the Jacobite Express at both the viaduct and here. If you don't hang around at the viaduct you can get here with 10-15mins to spare to grab a double helping of steam.
You can either shoot it from the roadside or, as I did here, climb up on the hill behind the road and it gives you a glimpse of Loch Ailort you don't get from road level.
Just a quick 'shout out' for the 20fps electronic shutter shooting mode the Canon R5 allows (subject to having 60%+ battery - makes it a lot easier to get a well times shot.
The building was built in 1872 and for many years was known as Lady of the Braes Roman Catholic Church and served the now deserted townships of Ardnish and Polnish. I gather it was featured in the Bill Forsyth film 'Local Hero'. For the last few years it's been a house and I admit to cloning out a Range Rover that to me upset the whole feeling of the image.
