that's nice.... did you get any with more of the rail infrastructure in it ?? I think more of that and less tree woudl make it look even better

Awesome..... but I do think a little less 'tree' would work a little better.

Do you know the settings you took this shot on?

xa-coupe - no unfortunatley. I took it while waiting for my takeway Thai to be cooked :p

I actually cropped the bottom off it, which is the road along the train track. It was too 'busy' with it there.

I did tweak it in PS, as it was a little bright and I wanted the silhouette a litte darker. This also brought the colours out more as well. PS is still a very basic tool for me. I find, I just play until it looks right to me, rather than actually knowing what I'm doing :o

littlealbert - sorry, I don't know what settings. I can check when i get home (at work atm). Anyone know where to download the little program that tells you the settings of a photo?

If you upload your pics to the members gallery it lists the ISO, shutter speed, aperature etc underneath each picture.

lol, fair enough.. I still think it's a great shot.

You can get it off the original picture. XP at least seems to be able to get exif data. Failing that, I am sure PS will be able to tellyou, probably under properties.
