Sometimes a bit of shadow, a touch of backlighting and some glare can add to a photo... it's not so straightforward as the expected "fully and evenly exposed" shot.

I'm burrowing through some old pics. This is Tri-X, 35mm, probably a 200mm lens with Pentax K2 or KX. I like the effect of these 3 RAAF F-111s dumping oil into their afterburners (I guess that's what they are doing!) - it was a spectacular air show trick at the time, but I don't they'd do this sort of thing nowadays!

Ye old fashioned steam locomotion captured on ye old fashioned Tri-X monochrome film with a 35mm Pentax camera (probably a KX) in 1976. Looks like I used about 200mm of lens here to get that compression effect, and I shot through grass to make it more interesting. So you get the combined effects of framing and the eye being led to the loco by the tracks.
