Pretty impressive given where you were!

BTW what is the 'vivid' setting on the camera about?
I cant take credit for these I'm afraid, just posted the link.

I think my handbook may help here. There are six "Photo Effects" I can
choose from:
Off - that's the one I use
Vivid - Emphasises Contrast and Colour Saturation to record in bold colour
Neutral - Tones down contrast and colour
Low Sharpening - Records with softened outlines
Sepia - sepia tones recorded
B/W - black and white

Now were you the person with the A70, or this some other kind of camera?
BTW I got a sort of sepia shot years ago of Mallard arriving at York
station using an ordinary SLR (which I no longer have) - it was taken in
very late afternoon hence the sepia effect.

Yes, it was I who posted my camera was an A70 and those effects are what is
listed in the handbook for that camera.

LOL - I have dozens of train photos from York, as we used to take the
"children" to the museum frequently when they were young. Making me all
nostalgic now so I'll stop:-)

We spent a day at York railway museum during our honeymoon in '75 - sad
or what?
Funny, but I don't really remember much about the weather that weekend

A future issue of 'Weather' will include three of Mike's excellent photographs
of the last display (a few weeks ago), - there will also be a short article on
the event by Edward Hanna of Sheffield University.

But not with Mallard, unless you are pretty ancient even by my
standards!

By the time I started going to York from Birmingham in 1962, the Deltic
Diesels had taken over from the A4s, but I have a vague memory of seeing
the Mallard then. My photo though is from the late 1970s or early 80s, at
the museum.

Currently only +4.7C here with the remnants of last night's inversion
almost gone.

Heading for another sub-zero night here (East Fife), I think. At 3pm
spots that hadn't got any sun still had the white of last night's frost
and the pavement outside the house was slippery at 1pm.
