The sun is just managing to catch the sides of the 12.24 Euston to Northampton worked by 350124, 350257 and 350106 as it passes Victoria bridge just south of Roade. Railway photography is tricky at this time of the year with exposure settings always having to be thought about carefully to help manage the extreme contrast created by the low light. I tend to expose for the lighter areas and bring the shadows back in Photoshop. My reasoning is that there is always detail to be found within the darker areas of digital images but in overexposed areas most is lost. However, the downside of this method is that digital noise can become a problem in the darker areas when forcing them back so it's all about a compromise!
