For a change, I like taking portrait photographs especially when

using my trusty but infrequently used Sigma 80-200 zoom lens. As it was such a dull July morning I had to have the lens wide open at f4.0 that meant the depth of field was somewhat compromised even more so at 200mm meaning the track in the foreground was out of focus. However, a narrow depth of field often draws the eye to the subject as long as it is actually in focus itself! DVT 82209 leads the 06.40 Leeds to King's Cross past Holme Green crossing just south of Biggleswade. Note that the entire train is in the former operator's livery apart form the Class 91 on the rear that is in Virgin East Coast's bright new colour!
