As for the last couple of years our summer holiday has been to the North Norfolk Coast. The light railway is a must during our holiday to this area (more on this at a later date) and this year we got the chance to see the railway from a different perspective during a visit to Sheringham Park. This shot showing the famous pines and sea of the quote "Twixt sea and pine", a catch-phrase of the North Norfolk Railway shows both the Coastguard Cottages and Weybourne Mill. I took this from the top of the Gazebo in Sheringham Park on a very overcast, but quite bright, day. I used a graduated filter to add interest to the sky and captured the steam train as it passed over the coast road with a good head of steam up as it chugs up the hill towards Weybourne Station.
It was taken using my 18-55mm kit lens at 53mm, f11 1/125s ISO400. In post processing I have straightened the horizon by a couple of degrees and cropped to try to fit better with the rule of thirds and remove some distractions from the foreground. If I were to change anything (other than picking a nicer day!) I would try to reposition myself to cut out the annoying tree top in the bottom right and try to work a bit better on the framing to get closer to the ideal thirds.
