47762 speeds past Lower Wick (between Gloucester and Bristol) with the Pathfinder Tours 1Z33 06:30 Birmingham New Street to Penzance 'Penzance Flyer' railtour on 22 June 1996. I do not normally take many pictures from the trackside at such close quarters with a standard lens, as although this is the classic style of railway photography, I tend to favour a more scenic shot. In this case however the last minute rather fruitless search for a new location left little alternative and the speed of the train certainly required the 1/2000 sec shutter speed of my Canon F1. |
