Now for something completely different. It is quite rare to see a Steam Train on our local South Coast Main Line. This was the Bath and Bristol Steam Express day Excursion. I had heard about it and set up on the footpath by the River Arun by the rail bridge at Ford. The train had stopped at Worthing and then ran fast to Salisbury via Chichester and Havant. The advantage of this spot apart from the scenery is that the train has to slow for the points at the junction just before. When running fast Steam trains can readily get to 70mph. The train arrived pretty much on time which is better than the modern trains manage

The picture was taken handheld with a Sony A550 with a Tamron 28-200 mm lens at 28mm. Editing was first in RAW and then Noise reduction with Topaz DeNoise. For more detail I used Topaz Adjust HDR setting. Then to really bring up detail in the Sky I used Topaz Glow electrify at a reduced opacity and applied just to the sky and steam with a layer mask.
