A calculation of minutes. 73968 1A25, Montrose. 18th September 2024.
At 06:43 on the morning of September the 25th The Harvest Full Moon is just about to set and the sun will rise in three minutes as 73968 and its four carriages cross over the South Esk Viaduct at the neck of Montrose Basin with 1A25, the Euston to Aberdeen sleeper. The train has split from the Inverness and Fort William portions at Edinburgh Waverley having set out from Euston as one train, The Highland Sleeper, this portion leaving Waverley station at 04:12, 26 minutes ahead of its booked time. Arrival at Aberdeen for this lightweight train will be 07:31, just three minutes early.
A blend of three photographs to include the moon, and the shoreline at left. A wide angle lens would render the moon too distant. A simple stitch did not work because the software is lazy, it chose to omit the train! So: photostack in Photoshop and erase on the particular photos to show the train. Everything was shot together handheld, the left side behind the train after the train had passed from view.
