Shooting Into The Dark Side - a photo on Flickriver

            ...no, it's not a Star Wars reference!

The above shot of 4BM7, led by G516, CLF4, CLP11 and LDP004 (d/a) was shot dead straight into the high spring sun. It might not be everyones cup of tea, but some careful exposing was combined with photoshop to bring out the detail in the locos, to which the shot was converted to monochrome and the contrast adjusted accordingly.

Like it or not, I reckon it's better than no shot at all ;)
