I&#8217;m still ill, so none of these shots are from our recent cold snap, but instead, from the one before that, in January this year. Knowing my fascination with trains I&#8217;m sure no one will be surprised that I&#8217;ve picked two railway shots for this post.<\/p>\n<p>The first shot I&#8217;ve chosen is of an Irish Rail Commuter train taken from Pike&#8217;s Bridge near Maynooth. This is a Class 29000 Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU), and it&#8217;s making it&#8217;s way from Dublin to Maynooth. The frozen water in the foreground is the Royal Canal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bartbusschots.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/DSC_3487_TopazAdjust_blended.jpg\" alt=\"A Winter Commute\" style=\"border-width:0px;\" width=\"450\" height=\"259\" \/><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/bbusschots\/4452654780\/in\/set-72157604207472927\/\" target=\"_blank\">on Flickr<\/a> &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/bbusschots\/4452654780\/sizes\/o\/in\/set-72157604207472927\/\" target=\"_blank\">Full-Size<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Camera:<\/strong> Nikon D40<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lens:<\/strong> Nikon DX AFS 18-55mm (D40 kit lens)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Exposure:<\/strong> 1\/160 sec<\/li>\n<li><strong>Focal Length:<\/strong> 18mm<\/li>\n<li><strong>Focal Ratio:<\/strong> <em>f<\/em>\/8<\/li>\n<li><strong>ISO:<\/strong> 200<\/li>\n<li><strong>Camera Mode:<\/strong> Aperture Priority<\/li>\n<li><strong>Exposure Bias:<\/strong> 1.0ev<\/li>\n<li><strong>Processing:<\/strong> created by merging the original version of this shot with a version enhanced using the Topaz Adjust plugin<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The second shot shows an Irish Rail InterCity service from Sligo to Dublin approaching Jackson&#8217;s Bridge near Maynooth.
