Majestic machines and breathtaking scenery: those long-range shots give a real sense of place, and you made best use of some near-perfect filming conditions. If I ever need to demonstrate how to put together a railway video I'll send them this: masterfully done - well done, Benj!
Treasured comments Robert, extra meaningful as I know your interests are wide and many and not restricted to the steam-enthusiast world. Experience and skill plays a part but luck with dry and calm weather, especially in the Highlands, is a major factor. Many videos feature the locomotive up close and personal - you'll observe my focus is often very different - I'm trying to capture steam in the landscape where before and after are as important as the main moment. Thank you!
