73129 Winchcombe 5 November 2006

73129 is glimpsed through the trees as it leaves Winchcombe with the 11:05 freight to Toddington on 5 November 2006, during the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway's Diesel Gala. To make the most of the surroundings this was taken on a 24mm lens (38mm equivalent), the least used of my quartet of lenses. Also rarely used for railway photography, a polarizing filter was used to bring out the very faint high clouds against the blue sky.
