This shows Black 5 44871 heading away from Orton Mere railway station. As Robert explains, ‘A friend of mine, who is a driver on the Nene Valley Railway near Peterborough, gave me a tip-off that a visiting engine was going to be working a “driver experience” course. A sunny day was forecast, so I could not resist going. In this picture the train was running an hour late so the golden sunlight on the engine had gone but there was still enough light to create a striking image and I didn’t have to worry about the glare from the sun in the lens.’ Robert uploaded this image onto Flickr using the hashtag #appicoftheweek.

This was taken while Tim and his wife were driving the Lake Minnewanka Loop in Banff National Park in Canada. As he explains, ‘My wife Nic was keeping an eye on the traffic while I nipped out to the middle of the road. I used the flip-out screen on my Fujifilm X-T3 to get low down, focused about a third of the way into the shot and used f/8 to get a fast enough shutter speed while keeping reasonably good front-to-back sharpness.’ Tim uploaded this shot to Twitter using #appicoftheweek.
