Title: Photographic faux pas.
Post by: PhilWakely on June 25, 2019, 20:56:03
I'm sure we've all experienced such!

I have recently carried out one of my late mum's last wishes and taken my daughter on a short break to Glenfinnan [she had never been to Scotland and is a huge Harry Potter fan, so, at mum's request.........]

I did think about a 'Where was Phil today' thread, but the location is so well known, that S&TE would have guessed correctly within the blink of an eye  :D

Anyway, before 'the climax to the weekend', we went exploring the bottom end of the Caledonian Canal at Neptune's Staircase, Banavie. At the time, a returning Jacobite was due, so I figured that a head-on, telephoto shot of the train was the order of the day. I positioned myself on the platform and waited.   

Oh well, never mind!  ::)

Anybody else prepared to go public with their most embarrassing outcomes?

Is that turntable at Mallaig still out of use?  ;)

Here's what you missed Phil (from 2011)

As for mine, take last Friday.  Walking over the footbridge that takes you to the South Devon Railway at Totnes I heard a train approaching on the main line and thought I'd grab a shot as it crossed over the river.  The sun had other ideas....
