[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I went out taking photos with some friends and we spent the day chasing the Jacobite express on the Fort William to Mallaig line trying to get a decent shot. We were standing on a small hill looking towards the bridge and as the train came towards us I set the camera to continuous shooting mode and kept my finger on the button. My two friends decided to change from digital to slide and were still changing their cameras when I got this shot of the train at just the right place. They were both as sick as parrots because I got a better image than they did.

Hi Lorna,
Welcome to TL, this is a great shot, nice sharpness and details with good colour and a lovely setting, you can almost smell her from here as she steams by, I like the presentation here too.
Well done
Regards Andy
