Left: The use of ambient light to recordnight illustrations is far from easy. Ourphotographer here has chosen the darkside of an EWS Class 66 on depot andused yard and structure lighting toprovide the only illumination, givingjust an ‘outline’ to the main subject.Frequently when taking this type ofimage, the result will have an orangecolour cast, this is usually a true as seenresult, but could be reduced by carefuluse of Photoshop.
