Trainspotting highly commended: mobile

This is one of the highly commended photographs from our Trainspotting exhibition. This was photographed by Xabier Leidenfrost and is featured in our mobile phone category. The photographer’s caption reads;

It is street photography, intuitive, quick, decisive. Having to describe street photography never a good idea.

This international competition exhibition is now in its third year, celebrates the railway industry and the Museum’s extensive rail and steam collection. I will be posting all the photographs that are highly commended on Photo of the Day. You can see all the photos entered in our group on Flickr.
