Whilst I really like photographing in the winter months, when it is actually sunny, it does create issues as outlined in this particular image. With the sun being so low in the sky the shadows are deep and very dark. Photoshop needs to be put to good use in order to take control of the extreme contrast to lighten the shadows and yet still maintain nice tones in the highlights, particularly in the all-important skyscape. 66703 'Doncaster PSB 1981-2002' leads the 6M32 09.47 Neasden to Bardon Hill empty stone train through a transitional Wellingborough station. This particular train caught me unawares as up until its passage the slow lines had been out of use. The first that I was aware that it was imminent was the automated announcement stating that 'the next train at platform three is not scheduled to stop' and warning me to 'stand back from the platform edge'!
