55019, 20.05 Aberdeen-London King's Cross Sleeper (1E43), York station Nighttime photography utilising long shutter speeds with the camera mounted on a tripod opens up many new and interesting photgraphic opportunities. In this photograph, a shutter speed of fifteen seconds was utilised but it demonstrates some interesting characteristics associated with the dark art! By way of an example, notice the ghostly illuminated York platform light just under the BR logo of 55019 'Royal Highland Fusilier'. The use of a lens hood helps prevent these unwanted artefacts exacerbated (apparently) by a lens design that has the front element close to or flush with the leading body of the lens. 55019 was leading the 20.05 Aberdeen to King's Cross 1E43 sleeper that had six steam-heated Mk. I sleeper coaches in the consist. Notice the extraordinary oil-burning heaters lit and running well at the rear end of the Deltic in an effort to stop the platform water pipes from freezing.
