Nick said: "I followed its progress around the ring and just as it got level with me I grabbed the shot.
"The reason it fitted the 'Our Lives' category for me is that I have attended several steam rallies throughout the summer whilst driving a retired fire engine myself."
Derby Telegraph picture editor Victoria Wilcox said: "I like Nick's shot for its atmosphere and his focus on the men involved in the action.
"I feel like I am at the event among the steam."
The next TogsQuad meeting is on Thursday, January 17. Visit www.derbyquad. co.uk for details.
