Deutche Bahn InterCity train 522 Berchtesgadener Land<\/em> (Berchtesgaden\u2014Hamburg) catches the glint of the setting sun at Bonn, Germany. Compare this view with that of Amtrak\u2019s Lake Shore Limited catches the glint at Palmer, May 28, 1986<\/a>\u00a0(posted December 7, 2012). Exposed on Fuji Sensia II (ISO 100) slide film using a Nikon F3T fitted with f2.8 135mm lens. Exposure calculated manually with a handheld Sekonic Studio deluxe light meter (approximately f8 1\/500 sec).<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In August 1998, I was visiting a friend in Bonn, Germany. I\u2019d wandered down the Rhein by train with a promise to return by dinner at 8 in the evening. At Mainz, I bought a ticket for an IC (Intercity) train that scheduled to arrive in Bonn that would have just barely got me back in time. However, EC (Euro City) train 8 Tiziano <\/em>(Milano Centrale\u2014Hannover) arrived on the platform six minutes ahead of the IC train. I boarded this instead (and was required to pay a 7 DM supplement for the privilege) and after being whisked up the Rhein\u2019s left bank arrived at Bonn with a few minutes spare. I was immediately distracted by the amazing red sunset that illuminated trains heading out of the station toward K\u00f6ln. I decided to wait on the IC train that I would have taken.\u00a0 Working with my Nikon F3T and Fuji Sensia II (100 ISO) I made a sequence of glint photos from the platforms and I over stayed my time at the railway station and so arrived a few minutes late. Not a problem: Understanding too well my predilection for low-light photography my host had anticipated my delay; she smiled, \u201cOh, when I saw the nice light, I assumed you\u2019d be late.\u201d<\/p>\n
