Taken from the window of a train moving at about 100km/h. I do this trip pretty frequently but had never seen such awesome lighting before.

Camera:	Sony Alpha DSLR-A300
Lens:	Sigma 18-125 F3.5-5.6 D
Submitted:	Monday, 5th October, 2009 07:53 (GMT)
Taken:	Friday, 4th September, 2009
Focal length:	18 mm
Shutter speed:	1/320 sec
Aperture:	F4.5
ISO:	200
Notes:	Manual exposure prepared in advance with a few test shots as the actually interesting views from the train track are scarce and only available for the time of a single shot... From RAW, just a little recovery and contrast/saturation tweak.
Views:	748
