Description
Taken 2 weeks ago at Tursdale, near Metal Bridge, County Durham.I wasn't satisfied at all with the photographs I got of Bittern (Dominion of New Zealand) at this spot, but the more I looked at this particular one, the more it gave me the impression of travelling at extremely high speed. This effect was entirely due to not having finished zooming out as I pressed the shutter release.

I can only repeat what was said already, nice accident

Thanks. It was a very fortunate accident.
Panning I can normally handle, but zooming out at the same time as pressing the shutter release is something I don't normally do.

Fantastic! Perhaps you could try this "accident" more often with even better results!
(Of course, non-accidental shots are great too... hehehe.)
Great shot. Best-In-Series, I daresay.

Very much appreciated Neil.
Someone once said that a good photograph is 30% skill, and 70% luck. So I guess that this comes in the 70% category
I will have to try both accidental, and non-accidental shots in the future.

Thanks. It was pure accident, but in the end, I am quite pleased with it.

Thanks Matt.
I wasn't keen on the shot at first, but like Cadbury's Roses, it did grow on me.
But to be honest, I don't like the blue colour at all. I much prefer British Railways (brunswick) green, which is the colour I remember best.
The only loco that I ever saw in blue, during BR days was Sir Nigel Gresley, and even then, I wasn't keen on it way back then.
