How and Why
At this open day there was a lot going on in the background and I chose this viewpoint to try and exclude some of the distracting background elements.
The steam engine was doing circuits so I could get a repeat of the framing. I was hoping to get some images full of steam to provide atmosphere - unfortunately the demonstration took place in the summer and the hot weather meant that the steam didn't hang around long, I did get one other photograph that includes more steam and is closer to what I'd previsualised.
I like the way the front axle is angled showing the large machine's maneuverability and the concentration on the face of the driver indicating his precision of control. I also like the fact that there's nothing in the picture to date it.
