Getting your angles right



I was musing over the similarity between these two views, taken at the Great Central Railway in 1994 and 2000. I concluded that rear end views of steam locomotives with tenders rarely work aesthetically - too much tender behind.

That reminded me that I had read recently about a lady in America who had been involved in a road accident. Instead of sending the required pictures of the damaged car to her insurers, she had sent photos of herself, even obliging with “a picture taken straight on and a picture taken from each side.” I assume the insurers had not, in this particular case, asked her for a rear end view.
