Depth of field and a low viewpoint of Tan Y Bwlch
This photograph was taken at Tan Y Bwlch train station on the Porthmadog to Ffestinog railway line in North Wales.
I was experimenting with depth of field and unusual viewpoints. Due to the extremely low angle of this photograph and the fact that I didn’t want to look like someone about to commit suicide by putting their head on the line (it was also wet and oily down there), this image was taken by holding the camera as low as possible and randomly firing off a series of shots. There is something about this image that I like. I think all the different elements of this photograph come together beautifully, the extremely low viewpoint, the depth of field which helps to draw your eye along the sweeping curve of the train tracks as they tail off into the distance.

Nice shot. I like the angle and the way the tracks draw your eye into the picture
