I love how, in the first one, the hill echoes the shape of the right-hand train. Must have taken ages for you to arrange that shot

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Rob. It cost a small fortune in tickets!!

 

[Dan Cattermole]

The first one does it for me!
Love the details of the track and how they are 'sharp' from the line of travel.

 

[Brian Moore]

Its the colors I like most in these, Pete.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

I like that shape made between the wagons in #3 - it's like a Marmite pot!

I thought the Germans would have cleaned the windows though?

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Chris. It was a Czech train!!

 

[Jim Kuo]

Very nice Pete .

I also love how the scene is framed by the pot shape between the carriages in #3.

I didn't realise this was taken on a train. For a moment there, I thought you had some serious sensor dust issues .

 

[Hamish Gill]

I think these are my favorites of these!
The first one is my favorite I think ... The lines and te framing of the backdrop are very nice!
They remind me of the Michel Gondry video for star guitar ...

Another in the series.

Nice feeling of move,end in the tracks lower left Pete - and the perspective formed by the track, the train, and the overhead power lines is very cool.

Thanks Chris. I was getting into the swing of getting the Ricoh to fire when I wanted it having set it to manual exposure but leaving the AF on.
