Tramspotting Photo

Photographer’s Note

Public transit system of Mannheim and Ludwigshafen metropolitan area, RNV, has an extensive network extending both sides of Rhine and Neckar rivers. Many trams have advertising colours, and this one is the most psychedelic I saw.

Title inspired by the movie Trainspotting.

Great sense of movement but it's a shame the front couldn't have been a touch sharper. Nice effort though!

We have them in Ghent also (at least some of them). Fortunately, you can't see it when you're riding one of these beasts.

Ciao Kari,
gran bello scatto. Movimentato e colorato. Allegro e pieno di vita. Quotidianeità. Con maestria. Bravissima

Hi Kari, I like the movement and colours in this shot. It's a shame the front of the tram isn't sharper even with the rest in blur. But still it's a great shot. And good title too. Regards, Lisa.

Godo impression of movement with the blur. I would have light the full front to be as sharp as the left part, but it is something difficult to achieve.

All the best,

Emmanuel

Hi Kari,
Great shot.....it's all about colour and movement.....oh yes, and it's a tram! Although many would say that it is too blurred, I like it, and at least the eye has one portion of the tram's front where it can focus. I think you achieved the result you wanted. Well done.
Cheers Grant

Hi Kari!
I remember me driving this tram to "Kurpfalzbrücke",switching to Nr.4, to reach the suburb "Feudenheim"where I live in Mannheim.
Have you been in my town for buisiness??
I like the motion,colors and blurr,and the title,a great movie.
Regards,leo
