  • The Jacobite steam train runs through one of the most scenic railway locations in the country, if not the world, on this video I hunt out a few locations in the Scottish West Highlands to photograph the Jacobite steam train running between Mallaig and Fort William. There's a couple of Scotrail class 156 trains running too. Taking in Mallaig, Morar, Beasdale Bank Lochailort and joining the Harry Potter fans for a view of the famous Glenfinnan Viaduct.

    That must be a world far far beyond the universe, really filmed on earth? This is an emotional nature and any trains you're catching there makes it completely☺️☺️☺️👌

    Very enjoyable Andrew, the sound of a steam loco working hard is both unique. As for the scenery, some of the best in the UK.

    • @AndrewShenton
      @AndrewShenton  Рік тому

      Many thanks, Andy, there were some sections where the steam really had to work, with two steam trains running, it's quite an impressive schedule in the most stunning scenery.

    Always a treat to see your efforts, Andrew. Pity about the van on the road at 3:35 on otherwise deserted roads... I'd be inclined to photoshop it out on the photo. My once (and only) trip along this line was in August 1971; slightly different motive power then and I never took any photos😒😒
    You really must do a video to show how you get the characteristic "edge" to your photos, that "lift" the scene on dull days.

    • @AndrewShenton
      @AndrewShenton  Рік тому

      Many thanks, Peter, that was very observant of you to spot the van, I normally don’t Photoshop things out, I try to missing the unwanted in composition or it editing by darkening an area, but on this one I think you’re right and easy one just to remove. I was thinking whilst up here how I’d have loved to see the line in the ’70’s with a Class 26 on a few Mk1’s. I might do an editing tutorial at some point, but no plans in the immediate.

    • @peterkazmierczak7273
      @peterkazmierczak7273 Рік тому

      I used to be very, very against photoshopping anything out of an image, Andrew. But over the years I've mellowed and now feel that anything transient, such as a piece of wind-blown litter, a vehicle on a road, or even a person, is fair game to be removed if it "spoils" or detracts from the overall image. After all, our composition is a way we naturally frame things that we don't want to include in the picture.

      Thank you, Adrian, fortunately the road mostly follows the line, but with very limited places to stop a few of the spots did involve a bit of a hike - not complaining though.
