Irish Rail Class 071 - a photo on Flickriver

            Irish Rail Class 071 diesel electric loco number 078 passing through Maynooth at night on the return run of the ITG railtour to Sligo on March 6 2010. This was supposed to be a farewell to the 141 class, but the 141s weren't up to the job, so 078 had to substitute for them. The historic carriages for the tour were provided by the RPSI.

This shot really pushed my gear to the limit. I shot with my ISO as high as I dare on the D40 (800), with my brightest lens wide open at f.14, and the exposure as long as I dared on a moving train (1/100 of a sec). Even with all that the image still came out very dark, so I had to rely on the Topaz Adjust plugin to tonemap the image (Adaptive Exposure in Topaz lingo), and to reduce the noise using Topaz deNoise.
