37411 'Caerphilly Castle', Newport, 13th May 2006 (5N34 1828 Newport to Cardiff Central)
Nikon D50, 70-300mm f4-5.6 Nikkor G lens
I normally frown upon photographs that don't include a decent horizon, but I was having a 'Captain Flap' moment when I took this shot. Basically, the weather had been cack all day, and I had walked back to the car with the intention of going home. But while 37411 was sat in Newport station, the sun managed to come out, and as the train pulled away I suddenly realised that it was going to stay out long enough for a phot. So I ran to the bridge, did a mega fast lens change and literally did a 'point and shoot'. That said, I actually quite like the shot! After this, the sun seemed to burn off quite a bit of cloud, so I stayed in Newport and managed a few more shots before the sun set for the evening.
