Challenge: Oxymoron (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Nikon D70
Lens: Tamron AF 28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 LD Aspherical IF for Nikon
Location: Cass Railroad, West Virginia

Aperture: F/8

Shutter: 1/250
Galleries: Vintage, Science and Technology

 This handheld shot (taken from the train) should not have come out at all, but somehow it did.

This photo (and a few others from this trip) would have fit nicely in the "Trains & Railroad" challenge, but alas it was taken a few days too early!

Editing: convert from RAW (with white balance changes, contrast correction, color correction, and sharpness), rotate, crop, hue/saturation, contrast / hist. adjustment, and USM.
