“Displaced Australian” Neil Howard spent some years in Singapore before ending up in the United Kingdom. “I am living in Alderney in the English Channel. My work takes me to many places in the World, but only for short visits. but I always have my camera”.
He says about today’s selection, captured using Olympus E-M5: “The engineer and fireman working hard at the business end of the Steam Loco SR-850 ‘Lord Nelson’ on the Watercress Line in Hampshire—actually a well-earned short rest”. Hence, the self-title. Vitals: f/9, ISO 200, 1/8 sec, 27mm. Shutter is slow, and Neil held the camera still enough, looks like. But did the engineer move or are there artifacts from an HDR render? Look larger to answer. The pic takes the Day for composition and perspective.
Neil joined Flickr in November 2005. You can keep up with his photo journeys on Google+ or his website.
