Steam Bath!
Well it was kinda funny at the time...I was in New Hope a couple of weeks ago when I took this shot. I was stooping down very low to try and get a close up of the drive wheels and pistons etc. (not sure of the technical name) on this old steam locomotive, when suddenly...WOOOOOSH!!! STEAM BATH!!! I wasn't prepared for it and part of me thinks the engineer did it on purpose. (One of the engineers works for the same company as my husband, and does this on the side, so it wouldn't surprise me at all, if my husband gave him the wink and the nod.)Check out my other Photoblog:

haha,that would have been a funny shot,
you managed to get a really nice shot though....
love the conversion as usual....!
Well, however it happened, it gave you a sweet shot!
worth the wet i'd say! i really like the way the frame is cut diagonally in half, it really highlights the action in the visible part.
Great story! And great photo too!
Great picture. I love the blak and white.
I love this picture, the smoke covering the half of it diagonally is spectacular.
Well as long as the camera equipment is OK, you should did get a great shot out of that steam bath!! Way to keep it together and keep on shooting!
very beautiful machine of nostalgia!
Bain de vapeur et une belle image.
Great capture from a compromising position. the diagonal steam blast is perfect here.
Great unplanned shot micki, I am feeling the shot, I would have jumped back, glad you had time to take the shot :)

Excellent shot! I'm glad that they turned on the steam! It makes the shot a lot more interesting. :-)
Awesome photography
:) great photo.
Nicely composed - funny story, too.
Nice frame and composition! Funny story!
Awsome
I like how the steam envelops half of the frame. It really makes you feel like you're there.
Nice story and a great capture of it!
Great shot. I think you should have gone and thanked the guy for making this shot so much better and thanked god that the steam didn't spoil your camera
Thanks all...I hope you see this...but Blogger is being dumb again and I cannot publish or edit or anything...so I don'e know when I will be able to update...so in the meantime I will esu "Parellel Universe". So hop on over to it if this one doesn't update tomorrow. http://capturethisphoto.aminus3.com/
what a great shot, and so effective in B/W
:o)

Wonderful, you should thank the engineer (unless he ruined your capera) since it made the shot really interesting - the steam sets the era without having to be told it's a steam engine.
Oh, what a neat photo! Much better with the steam, I'd say! Any damage to the lens?

sorry i didnt comment yeaterday, blogger was down (as usual)...
when i was young, we used to play cricket in the compound and every time the ball rolled under the car the drivers would start up the car and give off a little puff of smoke as we started to search for the ball, extremely mean people!...
love the b/w, just a great shot..
Excellent shot Laurie!
Awesome shot Laurie! A real feeling of power.
Classic looking b&w, great moment captured!
Regards,
Jason
Well worth the steam bath! Your black and white images just continue to get better and better. Beautiful tones and contrast in this one with the steam and dark steel.
