Train-rail

[TraXter]

The train left... my friends were standing as guards looking for trains... I'm jumped down on the rails... Placed the cam on the rail and *click*, *click again*. This is the result... What do you think?

ATTENTION: Do not try this! Trains are passing here (at my place) only 2 times per hour, and it was red light.

what do i think? i think you should STOP jumping onto train lines

[Martin]

the trains run so damn slow in this country you'd PROBABLY be quite safe... :lol :lol :lol

But I WOULDN'T recommend it in ANY country... :D

[Stellor]

Nice shot, and of course it's worth the risk. If you can't hear or see a train coming you have a different kind of problem, they are rather large.

lol i think you would feel the train coming down the track and the rail would shake

(but when i was 14 my freind got his leg torn off by a train):(

Thanks for the comments.... trust me... there was no train that could possibly pass when I was sitting there... ;)

Thanks again :)

Fantastic shot Trax - never seen one from that perspective before. Guess if it was safe then theres no problem but these things can be a risk.

[Rainer]

Nice. I like:)

[TraXter]

Hardy: Thank you! Very appreciated! Of course this was a great danger... but I took the chance :P

Rainer: Nice to hear you liked it! Thanks!

[Davey]

I like it little bro.
Little bit to dark but very nice.

no joke in this one.:(

[TraXter]

Thanks Davey!

Someone says it's too dark, I think it depends on the brightness of your monitor/screen.... anyway thanks...

No joke :o lame Davey ;) :P

First let me say that I really like this.

The sublte texture on the right hand side of the photos with the trees and grass balances nice against the gloomy clouds and then BAM the black wall of death on the right side.

Good texture and detail on the train. The only think that would make this any more powerful of an image would be if the train was a titch blurry from the movement. But I wouldn't personally risk that.

Great shot!
Thanks for sharing!

Is this digi or film???

[TechZsue]

didn't your mother ever tell you to stay off the tracks??!!
btw, nice shot.

Greg: Where is the train? :lol Theres no train in the picture... theres a train-rail! :lol It's a closeup! :D

Anyway, thanks, and it's digital (Olympus C-3020 Zoom)

Sue: She told me, but I'm not listening :P Thanks :)

As in the immortal words of Homer Simpson

DOH!

No matter, it's still a really cool shot!
Do you have a bigger size???

[cfire]

Nice shot Traxter!

[TraXter]

Greg: :lol Go Homer! ;) I've got a bigger version, but this is the cropped version with some level adjustments!

Frank: Thanks! Very appreciated! :)

TraX, nice shot, love the angle. there is a nice reflection of the trees in the rail too. *those trains are bigger, you might want to be careful on that scooter***:D

[TraXter]

:lol

Thanks Mike! Yeah, some of those trains are huge... and the drive by in approximatly (?) 130 km/h. Thats quite scary :(
