Advertisement Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 Hi Rona!d, Take a look here easter steam train. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
stuny Posted March 24, 2008 Share #2 Posted March 24, 2008 Ronald - One of the best railroad photos I've seen in quite some time. Excellent angle, composition, timing, contrast, tonal range, detail and action. The implied curve of the track and the arc of the smoke add greatly to the overall effect.

Rona!d Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share #3 Posted March 24, 2008 Stuart, how could you know about the curve? Good eye! [ATTACH]79955[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]79956[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]79957[/ATTACH] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin T-M Posted March 24, 2008 Share #4 Posted March 24, 2008 Ronald, a great classical. I totaly agree with Stuart (even for the curve : we feel it). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share #5 Posted March 24, 2008 Thanks, but please forget the 3rd/4th shot, posted this only to show the double tracks. I shouldn´t have cut the left track and the trees, this is really crap from my trash can After shooting the left train the other one appeared surprisingly.

I shouldn´t have cut the left track and the trees, this is really crap from my trash can After shooting the left train the other one appeared surprisingly. Ronald - Lovely photos! I think they were taken at Drei Annen Hohne on the Harz system, where the Brockenbahn begins? I've never been there in winter but, having seen these shots, it looks as though I should sign up for the trip that Ffestiniog Travel is planning for the end of November this year - It's officially for the Christmas Market in Wernigerode, but there will also be plenty of opportunity for steam train travel and photography - The Ffestiniog Railway is twinned with the Harzer Schmalspurbahnen and some of their staff will be visiting North Wales at the end of April.

cbretteville Posted April 7, 2008 Share #19 Posted April 7, 2008 Great images Ronald. There is something that has always fascinated me with German steam engines. Must be after poring/drooling over the Fleichmann catalogues as a kid. - Carl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
