Locomotive No.1

Locomotive No.1

I visited the York Railway Museum and was very impressed with the space and exhibits displayed. I took lots of photos as you might expect, like this one of two that I took of the replica Locomotive No.1. Originally built in 1825 by George Stephenson for the Stockton And Darlington Railway, its considered to be the first commercial steam engine (travelling at 8 – 10 mph!). I cut away the background to reveal the complex rods and valves etc. I had recently photographed some fitted bed sheets drying on the washing line, which I thought looked interesting. I therefore hit on the idea of putting a montage of them , behind to create a dramatic and sympathetic backdrop….Steam clouds ..geddit? The funnel is out of shot , on the right hand side of the picture.  I applied a filter to the engine to give a gritty look, and a filter to the sheets to soften and slightly blur them
