43139 Compton Beauchamp 12 May 2015

Superb golden evening light at Compton Beauchamp on 12 May 2015. 43139 Driver Stan Martin 25 June 1950 - 6 November 2004 races underneath the vintage three arch brick bridge with the 1G70 18:47 Paddington to Cheltenham Spa First Great Western service. The low angle of the sun is very evident here, with the shadows just reaching the down line. The fading light also required the use of ISO 800, in order to keep using the very necessary 1/2000sec shutter speed.
