Photographer’s Note
JIT
City: Zwolle – Quarter: Centre – Location: Railway station
About the title: JIT stands for Just In Time and no, I won’t bore you here with theories about supply chain planning (that’s the domain where this acronym is used most), I’m just using it in a fairly abstract way. Shooting on stations is always fun, especially when you actually can grab a little story in the making.
Shot while changing trains on our way to Nijverdal for a walk across the Sallandse heuvelrug.
For the train buffs – on display is a Dutch Railways ICM double deck Intercity train. It was the last train where the Dutch Railways were responsible for the design. After that it was ‘buying of the shelf’ and thus alas adding to the growing uniformity of European train design.
I'm still bit busy but will catch up with y'all later.
Have a great Sunday & start of the week!
The PCS4 work flow: I cropped, converted to b/w (method: gradient mapping), altered, the contrast, curves and levels for the whole pic and some elements separately, using different layers, USM-ed, added a frame and resized, enhanced the edges on a 88 % transparent layer, merged the layers and did a gentle USM (0,2px, 82%) again.

Hi Bert, I hope that all is well. A fine transportation photo in which the modern train at the left side provides a good pattern and serves well as a perspective line. Good timing also to capture the busy stride of the walking guy :) B&w works well on this one.

Hallo Bert,
Perfecte timing met beide voeten los van de grond, amar ook hoe je de scene hebt opgebouwd rennend langs de trien. Misschien stoort de dame met boodschappentas iets teveel in het beeld, maar de kadering en vooral de timing is erg sterk gekozen.
Groet,
Henk

Hey Bert,
Foto's op stations zijn inderdaad leuk! En dit is daar een uitstekend voorbeeld van. Geweldige timing ook met die man die komt aangerend. De POV is ook uitstekend en geeft hiervandaan een mooi gezicht op de trein met het uitgestoken hoofd van de conducteur als een leuk detail. Het zwartwit werkt ook goed, bedankt!
Groeten,
Lars

Dag Bert,
U koos voor een zwart-wit foto, dit geeft precies een een overzicht waar gansters aan het werk zijn.
De man die zich haast en naar u toe komt, samen met het zwarte silhouet en het hoofd van een van de trein wachter maakt de zaak compleet.
Perspectief en diepte toont de foto zeer goed, samen met het licht in de achtergrond.
Bedank Bert.
Groeten uit een hemelsblauw Vlaanderen en 20.2° C

Hi Bert,
Use of tele catches uniformity well. Equally designed passenger cars making up a train, Destination dsplays showing where train is going. I like originality of Dutch train designs. Yes globalisation shows there too. Fortunately trains are used for decades and don't disappear too suddenly.

Hi Bert,
A really fine train picture. I love your inclusion of the man and woman heading in different directions in the platform. Looks like the man is in real hurry. The B & W is perfect choice here. TFS and have a fine week!
Cheers,
Ulf

Bonjour Bert,
une vue très écrasée qui donne bien, le n&b efface un peu le temps, l'apoque. Un cadrage audacieux maais qui donne bien/ Aucun souci quant à la netteté.
Bine à toi.
Daniel.
