Trans-Siberian Railway Photo

Photographer’s Note

Arkhara (Russian: Архара) Railway Station, 1,209km from Vladivostok. The local people were selling some meals to the passengers as the train arrived at the station early in the morning.

The Trans-Siberian Railway is connecting Moscow and European Russia with Vladivostok and Russian Far East provinces and through eight time zones and 9,289km.

The shot was taken with a Samsung Kenox 35mm film camera. This picture is a Fuji color negative film (ISO 100) scan using an Epson 4990 scanner.

Hello Eungbong,

A very difficult picture through the backlight, this create very long shadows and a little bit misty atmosphere, make the picture very well.
Composition and perspective are very very well.
Perhaps one advice, the date in the photograph is not suitable for TE.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice sunday,
John.

Hello my dear Eungbong

Composition and light management are very good.
I can really feel coldness(maybe minus 20or less) and business from your shot.
Congratulation on your good job !
Thanks for sharing and best regards,
Have a good weekend!

Hi Eungbong

I did this train trip in July 2007, stopping in Komsomolsk Na Amure, & Khabarovsk. It was certainly warmer then, than here! The snow adds graphism. A superb daily life scene from Far Eastern Russia in winter. Kamsahamnida!
