Tunnel

ENTERING TUNNEL OVER DONNER PASS NEAR TRUCKEE, CALIFORNIA, MARCH 24, 2012 

Pentax K-5
Sigma 17-70 DC at 37mm
1/160 sec. f4
ISO 400

This shot, taken from the vestibule window of the last car on a California Zephyr, is the first of several from a trip on that train I'll be posting in the next few days. Dealing with grimy vestibule windows necessitates a nearly wide open aperture so that the crud doesn't come into focus. Increasing contrast and brightness with Lightroom helps overcome the flatness of the light through the grime.
