Photographer’s Note
Whistler Mountaineer Express
Whenever I see those posters of railway journeys, I always thought I should get one like that some day. And when I got a chance on the Whistler Mountaineer Express from Whistler to Vancouver, I thought I'd take a shot at it!
This train journey is more than a means of transport from point A to B. It is by far one of the most scenic trains, and when I say SCENIC, I mean it. The crew onboard provide information through the mass announcement systems about upcoming scenic spots like waterfalls, gorges, animal sightings, etc, and also go further by slowing down the train so that tourists can get their cameras ready.
There also is one carriage called the ROCKY MOUNTAINEER carriage, which is open ventilated for some fresh air and breathtaking photographs. If you are a train fan, the Whistler Express is gotta be on your list.

Hi Nivas, I do like your photo, it has great depth, a perfect POV & it is wonderfully sharp, however I do think the light is much to bright & the white frame gives the shot a little bit of a washed out look, saying that I still like it, kind regards Wilson.

Dear Nivas,
Nice capture on the move !!
Maybe the train is a little bit overexposed!
Thanks for sharing,

Hi Nivas,
Impressive curved bridge. Looks really a journey worth making. Good timing with the front engine at the othe end of the bridge.
It's overexposed though. Exposure meter gets easily fooled by dark fir trees, and white painted cars don't help the situation.
