Another shot of the Hanningworth Viaduct using the fisheye lens.

The viaduct was started in 1876 and completed in 1878 and has 82 arches. It is the longest masonry viaduct across a valley in Britain. Network Rail are now doing essential repairs to the viaduct to ensure it lasts for a very long time.

For Flash of Red February

Many thanks for your great comments and Favs on yesterday's shots - very much appreciated!!

Fav for this shot - must investigate having a fisheye lens. I like the framing at each end of the shot.

[Graham Thresher]

Great panoramic shot.

[Leon Buijs]

[Maggiemae]

Good to be able to get the whole structure in like this!

[Pam Knowler]

@maggiemae See my shot of the 5th Feb for a view of the whole viaduct across the valley.

[judith deacon]

I like the wide angle composition, makes a very dramatic image

[Marnie]

Love the fisheye effect in this shot Pam, wonderful distortion. Fav.

[tommykeith]

yes, love the use of the fisheye here! Beautiful design.

[Taffy]

This one is really fun to see the zig-zaggy support for their work, and have it so perfectly framed.

[Rachel]

Ha! This looks so fun.

[Julie Duncan]

So WEIRD! I love this!

[Debs Stott]

The workers platform in the middle really gives this s focal point. About the question I asked on your other one, I guess trains run over if Network Rail are working on it?

[Pam Knowler]

@dibzgreasley yes Debs they do although I have never seen one. Used by freight trains and a daily passenger service. Special steam train trips go over it too - now that would be great to see!

[Heather (pixelchix)]

Crazy cool wide perspective

[Gail]

Fantastic capture - I love the way the image curves. FAV

[Stephanie Swift]

The lens worked really well for this, fav.
