60059 Swinden Dalesman passes Ackworth in a torrential downpour on 26 March 2016 with the Pathfinder Tours 1Z38 16:55 Ferrybridge Power Station to Eastleigh 'Generating Finale' railtour. This was running 15 minutes late, and it was nearly dark. ISO 1600 was required, with a shutter speed of 1/500sec, and the lens wide open at f2.8. Although the rain was heavy here, it was nothing compared to what happened half an hour later, as I was driving through Goole. For about 20 seconds, so much rain came down that visibility virtually dropped to zero, and the road was turned into an instant lake! |
