Spot Lit

I just returned from Johannesburg yesterday morning after an exciting 4 days...

Angelique and I departed Cape Town by train (Shosholoza Meyl) from Bellville station on Wednesday 2009/07/08 @ 13:00 for what ended up being a 35 hour train journey up to Jo'burg. This image was captured on Wednesday eveing @ 18:05 when the train was delayed for 4 hours in the region of Tulbagh due to some sort of power interruption. Prior to this delay we had already been delayed an hour at a time in Klapmuts & Paarl respectively due to a faulty engine unit – It was quite an adventure... Here Angelique is standing in the doorway with only the spotlight above providing illumination.

 

Shot Info:

Canon EOS 5D

Canon EF 24-70 f2.8L USM

Manual Exposure: f2.8 @ 1/20sec – ISO 3200 (Handheld) & No Flash

No noise reduction applied here with only sharpness bumped up 1 notch in RAW processing. Other than that I added minimal Yellow saturation boost to give it a little more punch...

 

Thank you all for viewing!
