Steamy Visitor

In the midst of trip prep on Friday night, I heard the far-off whistle of the steam train that occasionally makes its way near our house. I grabbed the camera and ran out to join the growing flock of steam train fans, and managed to get a few decent pictures. Most of them turned out too dark (it was dusk), but I lightened them and - voila! - there's a train in there!

  1. wow... no traces of such old-fashioned trains here !!!
    you shooted dark photos as the train light let the camera light-meter misunderstand the shooting time needed..
    manual overexposure is your friend !! at least +1EV..
    but take care, as this means lower speed shooting times: just don't shake !!!
