Cheers for the help folks, got some nice stuff to try

Sorry should have put that with the image. It was in RAW (dng), ISO 100, 1/2500, Pentax K-r. Can't remember the exact aperture as I was using a manual lens, probably f4 or 5.
And it's not your monitor, it is really really dark :P In fact I was surprised at how well I was able to bump up the train part of the image! RAW is awesome!

Aye I did put a grad filter on the sky, using Lightroom to edit. There's just so many ways to change the style of image, I could be here forever getting so many different versions of one image ... don't know if that's a blessing or a curse
Originally posted by aurele The easiest is the HDR. Some body can do it by themself.
Good idea. I'll definitely give HDR a go at some point. I didn't have a tripod with me for this pic but i'll try it for landscape next time round.
I tried a slightly altered edit also. Look's more like a sunset than a sunrise now, but oh well.
