Glint Talent

In mid January 2007, I was visiting Austria with photographer Denis McCabe.

On one cool sunny evening, we had set up at Brixlegg, where ÖBB crosses the River Inn. The view west presented the shadowy wall of an Alpine ridge, accentuated by patches of snow.

As the final golden solar rays of this January day graced the rails, I made a series of Fujichrome slides of an ÖBB Bombardier-built Talent railcar on its eastward journey across the Inn.

I’d borrowed a Canon EF75-300mm lens from Denis, and used this with my Canon EOS-3 camera.

The other night, I scanned some of these slides using a Nikon LS-5000 scanner.

Canon EOS-3 loaded with Fujichrome Velvia100, fitted with EF75-300mm zoom.

TRAXX at Lorch, Germany

DB (German Railways) class 185 electrics are members of Bombradier’s TRAXX Family of locomotives.

These are a common type for freight service.

Last September, I made this view of a Class 185 leading a southward tank train rolling along the Rhein near Lorch at Im  Bachergrund using my FujiFilm XT1.

Autumn sun was softened by thin high clouds that made for almost ideal lighting.
