Trainspotting, not commonly associated with being an adrenaline junkies hobby, but the buzz you get with 165 tons of stunning steam locomotive screaming past at full steam just two feet away is something to behold. Yet it makes for such a pleasant photo.
Taken at ISO 800 despite the bright sunny day to push the depth of field wider by using f/8.0. Shutter speed was 1/400s, which as it turned out - with the speed on the train, was a little low and there is still noticeable motion blur present. The circular polariser came into its own yet again, enriching the colours in the trees and engine. .
It was night time by the time it came back through, which was nice, gave me the chance to just leave my camera in the bag for once and soak up a bit more of the experience as again it hurtled past at near top speed.
