Eurostar

[Digital SPG]

Wanted a day of photography. Yet again weather was pants, despite the weather people saying it would be a reasonable day. :evil:

Lighting improved slightly in the afternoon so i thought i'd go out for a couple of hours and try and get a picture of the Eurostar in action. Picked a spot I know quite well thinking the trains were fairly regular. Wrong. An hour and a bit later one went past in the right direction. In that time the light had begun to fade quite quickly and i had lost all feeling in my fingers.

Got one shot i am fairly happy with. Done two versions, one is just a crop and fiddle with the levels and the other is the same edit with radial blur added.

I quite like the 1st one but as said the second makes the eyes go rather funny :shock:

With the light being as dull as you say and all that grey about in the picture I think its come out rather well ;)
