The Angle In Action

After my tutorial on this angle, this is the effect one can gain with a correctly aligned photograph. In this instance I lined up the left and right AF points with my central AF point to run down the centre of the line the 57 is running on, in order to get the locomotive as close to the center of the picture as possible. I used spot focus to get the front of the loco in the sharpest focus, and just waited for the right moment to start shooting.

Virgin Class 57 Thunderbird number 57312 "The Hood" heads the Pretendalino set from Crewe back to Liverpool for the return leg of the charter service from Lime Street to Euston.
