Reverse Curves
Yesterday evening, I had gone out to try some more shots on the picturesque Rylstone branch near Skipton. My hopes of catching the 18:20 Rylstone-Hull were dashed, as it was eventually cancelled. There was then a two-hour gap to wait for the inbound 6D67 17:57 empties from Hunslet, and I decided to use the same spot, wondering whether the light would work to my advantage in a 'going away' shot. This is the result, with 66771 'Amanda' leading her train as it winds slowly around the reverse curves near Rylstone. Taken on 1st June 2021.
Considering the weather conditions in my last but one post at the same location, I wonder if this helps to illustrate the point why we photographers re-visit the same location many, many times, in order to exploit the different weather and lighting conditions?
2021 represents a significant milestone in the history of the Phoenix Railway-Photographic Circle with the celebration of our 50th anniversary, by publishing a book to showcase some of the members' work, past and present, from 1971 to the present day..
The book contains 14 chapters and 144 pages of photographs depicting the work of over 50 accomplished railway photographers, with many differing styles and approaches. It takes an alternative view on photographing the railway scene over the last 50 years.
The book, called '50 Years of Phoenix' is available to buy now. Click on the link to order your copy:
