Generally, I've always considered we make our own luck when it comes to taking photographs, but every so often lady luck does intervene.
In this instance, I'd seen a possible scene, the young couple chatting , obviously engrossed in each other, and were quite happy for me to snap away.
I'd considered a shot, using their interaction as the subject, and as the train was building up steam, I wanted to use the swirling steam as a backdrop to give a 'Brief Encounter' feel to the image.
As is normal at these kind of situations, there was loads of people milling around, particular one dipstick in a red kagoule hovering (constantly) in frame, totally oblivious to anything going on (a train spotter perhaps).
A (female) train guard saw what I was trying to achieve, and moved all the folk away from the train for a minute, enabling me to capture the shot, was I grateful-you bet
