Coming Round the Bend


Photo Information
A South West Train's Class 450 Desiro on the Waterloo to Alton service comes around a curve near Pirbright, Surrey, on a damp, overcast, day.

Disappointedly this was a practice shot while waiting for a pair of steam engines which arrived tender first and subsequently, along with my lack of skills plus probably a poor choice of location, did not deliver a reasonable image .

Recently reworked for use as desktop wallpaper for an alternative to my normal collection of flowers.

Pentax K-5 with DA50-200 @ 87.5mm
1/250sec, F5.6, ISO400 & -0.3 exposure comp.

Shot raw, processed in LR5 then cropped and resized in PSE10.

Probably best viewed large.

I rather like this. Shots of run-of-the-mill scenes have value and are important. Well executed.

By the way you've managed to evoke some awesome moire patterning in the sleepers.
Best wishes,

Andrew

Especially well they are as well executed as this

Well, it certainly makes a change!
