From the train Photo

Photographer’s Note

Yet another view from a train window, one of many I've posted over the years. The very pretty ride through northern Bohemia in the snow provided quite a few opportunities, but I liked this one because of the way almost the whole window is filled with trees, the brief moment that the light caught the passenger across the carriage.

Not sure exactly where, but somewhere on the way to Turnov.

Hi Richard.
I think this one has come out pretty well. The wintry forest scene has come up nice and sharp despite the circumstances of this shot, which I know from experience can often produce distortion, reflection, dirt on the window etc. I like the inclusion of the passenger. The colours of the landscape are pleasingly rendered. I've made a few train journeys in the Czech Republic since I first visited in 1974; the train service has improved enormously since then. The last one I travelled on was a second-hand train imported from Italy! I gather from your note that you are an afficionado of train travel.
Regards,
Andrew

Hello Richard,
The view from the window of the train is great. It makes me miss train trips. And your model's look at the beautiful view is also great,
Best regards,
Tulay

Hi Richard,
Simple scene but so hard to get it right. Your framing is perfect. The fellow passenger is just on the right place. And exposure is fast enough to freeze the frame so that details are not too blurred.

Hello Richard,
same as you, I am not sure where exactly the shot was taken but your shot and its atmosphere is really familiar to me - reminds me the usual views I could see twice a week when I travelled via Turnov to the Liberec University on Mondays and Fridays admiring the beauty of Czech landscape.
Well done.
Best regards
Romana
