About the Image(s)
This picture was taken from moving Panoramic train. I used silicon lens hood to avoid glass window glare and reflection.
Canon EOS R6, 1/500 sec at F/8, ISO 100. Lens EF 70-200mm f/4 L IS USM @ 200 mm. Shutter priority.

Again a great pic Frans, lighting great, sharp pic and well captured considering the conditions. Just wondering if you were to remove the runway to the building and locate the building a little to the right if this would be a plus. Posted: 11/01/2023 03:39:46
Hi Geoff. Thanks for your early comments and suggestion. Please let the group group review which is preferable the original post or the one revised as suggested by Geoff. Posted: 11/03/2023 00:07:49
Thanks Frans, it was only a suggestion. Posted: 11/03/2023 00:22:53
Hi Frans. Great shot from a moving train, I tired shots from a car and not had good results. Thanks for the tip on the silicon lens hood. Posted: 11/03/2023 19:49:08
Hi Frans,
Great capture through the window of a moving train. In this situation, window glare can be very frustrating and difficult to correct in post-processing. The silicone lens hood is probably the easiest way to prevent this. I like to use a "tent" that holds on the lens with 4 little suction cups on the window - unfortunately, this is an extra piece of equipment to carry! (I mainly use these "tents" with aquariums).
Although the landing strips are affecting the beauty of the pristine snow, I find that their presence is essential in understanding how someone could reach such a destination!
Great work. Posted: 11/09/2023 09:35:52

Hi Pierre. Thanks for your elaborate comments. I have never seen the tent you mentioned. Is it practical for shooting behind glass window of moving carriage? I am glad you mentioned about the landing strips. I think this should be part of the story telling elements to the whole scene. Posted: 11/12/2023 03:11:07
You are right: The "tent", with its 4 suction cups, is better suited to work with a tripod or a non moving window. Posted: 11/12/2023 05:56:34
Hi Frans, i love the simplicity of this shot: one simple small building contrasted with the white snow and dark background. Removing the little runways and moving the building to the right simplified and improved the shot further; and they emphasized the loneliness of this location. I think this is a winning shot!

Hi Kurk. Thanks for your kind comments. Posted: 11/13/2023 05:44:26
Frans I forgot to mention that the reason I like the modified pic is that it emphasises the great patterns in the snow and sets the scene for the isolated building. Posted: 11/13/2023 18:38:57
Hi Geoff. I really appreciate your suggestion. Indeed, some friends commented. They prefer removing the walkway as it create solitude mood. Posted: 11/15/2023 02:06:15
Hi Frans, indeed by removing the runways and a little improvement of the crop the picture becomes more interested.
Love also the quality of sharpness and contrasts control in all parts from a difficult situation. Moving train , windows, etc.. Well done. Posted: 11/16/2023 07:40:41

Great shot. I do like the shot with the runways removed. It gives it a more ethereal feel. Posted: 11/23/2023 11:34:16
