Good shot. Mhow diesel shed appears to be copying part of its loco livery from Ratlam shed.

Also the aperture setting of f11 was not sufficient to get the other train in focus. Changing it to f16, would have reduced shutter speed below 1/250 sec, which was not good enough for this kind of action.
Overall, a difficult action shot to take.

The reasons for distortion is the full use of the 200 mm zoom which is actually 300mm for this type of SLR, as it is not a full frame SLR.
The Focus setting in camera has been kept "Closest Subject Focussing". Hence the train closer to the camera is in focus.

I am perplexed. The part which is nearest to the camera is in focus but distant scenery which includes the two locos and perhaps some of the coaches is slightly out-of-focus. Any reasons for this phenomenon?

Also notice a slight bend in the rail which is on the opposite side to the cross-over even though there is a guard rail to protect it from bending due to lateral forces.

I can see two "No Entry" signboards. What are they for? Normally such boards are used on roads to warn drivers about a No Entry but that is not needed on railways where points are set from the Control Tower.

The only place where a Diesel has some chance of beating an Electric is where there is no catenary. ;-)

Great shot Sid!

Binai, didn't realise Parel was building locos these days - unless your referring to a POH job?
