Zooming by the 403, VIA 98 is wasting no time to get to Aldershot for a station stop. Photo notes: When the light isn't in your favour.... make something with it - I'm shooting at a spot that would be backlit in the mid to late afternoon, the clouds are non existent behind me (thus too bright to shoot facing south with such a bright sky) and the clouds to the north west made for a perfect way to mash everything into the histogram of my camera's sensor. I opted to pan this shot given the light at hand being somewhat low, easier to force my camera to a low shutter speed.

    Yes. I dont like the same shot twice :)

    i prefer to keep trying elsewhere if an idea comes to mind or if I can get a bit of variety by going over to cp, or into steel steve territory :)
