En route to Milan, this Italian State Railway ETR610 high-speed tilting train was ascending the Gotthard Pass just south of Gurtnellen, Switzerland.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For this image I blended several techniques.<\/p>\n

To emphasize the wild flowers in the foreground, I\u2019ve held the camera low to the ground and used the tilting back screen to compose the angle. (Aiding this approach is the FujiFilm X-T1\u2019s built in line-level which appears as a \u2018heads up\u2019 display on the screen.)<\/p>\n

By applying a Lee graduated neutral density filter to the front of the lens, I\u2019ve maintained highlight detail in the sky.<\/p>\n

My adjustments the RAW file in post processing lightened shadow density and increased color saturation to help make for a lush scene.<\/p>\n

Notice the four layers: foreground, middle ground (the train), near background (the village of\u00a0Gurtnellen), and the far background (snow crested peaks).<\/p>\n

Once the new Gotthard Base tunnel is open to traffic at the end of this year, scenes such as this one of the Italian tilting train on the old route may be rare.<\/p>\n
