Default Train art

Had a series of shots of the tilt train in townsville. The trains livery has an aboriginal/islander art theme, each carriage being painted differently.

Bright cloudless day (as it usually is here) and the train arrived at 330 in the afternoon, now even though the train and foreground were a tad underexposed, the sky was still blown out in almost every shot - completely white.

Did a fill layer for the sky and used a gradient fill before making corrections for the exposure ... does the AFTER look ok? - the rest of the corrected shots are here

BEFORE:


AFTER:

Camera: PENTAX K-5
ISO: 200
Exposure: 1/50 sec
Aperture: 8.0
Focal Length: 17mm
