    A classic instance of something being simultaneously wrong in one respect (not authentic/prototypical) and entirely right in a different respect (appeal to a possible future supporter of preserved steam).

    Anyone can take a pleasing shot in calm sunny weather. Doing so in yesterday's challenging conditions is a much sterner test. Perhaps a morning for video rather than stills, and for B&W rather than colour? Though Shep's evocative morning shots are almost monochrome!

    I'm especially impressed with Sgt Hompson's sound track at Ais Gil. Where did you place your mics, Steve, and what sort of mufflers were you using?

    I placed the Rode blimp on the ground with a Rode video stereomic inside and on a windy day like yesterday it's worth it's weight in gold I must admit .

    In this video at 2-02 you can see it's something that's part of the mast as already mentioned Shep .
