In strong sunshine, I always find the photographing of black locomotives such as 9F 2-10-0 92203 'Black Prince' tricky with the bulk of the superstructure being very dark with no detail evident. As my readers know well, I like to expose my photographs with care concentrating on the background and the sky first then working on the subject, often as two completely separate digital layers. With a superb background with rich colouring in the sky, sea and the field to the right there are still details of the locomotive that are too dark even after spending some time 'working' the image in Photoshop. It is seen arriving at Weybourne from Sheringham with just one coach that is perhaps returning for attention following the ending of services for the day?
