We're back to that time of year when the only possible pictures of passenger trains at Melksham are in the hours of darkness ...

James, that is a good reminder to make from time to time.

Readers who are familiar with the TransWilts line will realise from a quick look at the picture above that it's "natural light" - or rather lit only by the lights of Melksham Station. I did not use flash / never do so in contravention of the rule that Jim has quoted.

Here is a picture taken less than a minute later with the same settings ...

I would have thought readers who are on even the flimsiest of terms with photography would have realised from a quick look at the picture above that it's "natural light".

My Mum's well over 80 and uses nothing more technologically advanced than a Boots disposable camera on the odd occasion she wants to capture a family memory. Even she took one look at the photo above (she lives near the station, and was interested in seeing the picture since a train arriving at Melksham is such a novelty these days) and said "ooh, you should have used a flash, dear"
