Trainviews is a bit of venture I did throughout my prepare journey on the Connecting Europe Specific in September 2021. This prepare introduced me all the way in which from Lisbon to Bratislava whereas visiting a special metropolis each day in simply 9 days time. I wrote a separate article with a lot of photos on this journey on my web site.
The venture ‘trainviews’ got here onto my thoughts a couple of days into the journey. As I used to be spending many hours within the prepare each day and I used to be usually sitting in a coach that was half empty, I assumed it was an attention-grabbing concept to principally simply arrange my tripod within the prepare declaring of the window and attempting to catch attention-grabbing surroundings alongside the way in which. As we had been crossing many various landscapes these 9 days within the prepare I needed to create a collection displaying the totally different sceneries.

The aim of this collection is to indicate the wonder alongside the rail method in Europe. Practice journey is quick, comfy and sustainable and the good factor is that you are able to do work alongside the way in which whereas having fun with the ‘trainviews’.
Technical difficulties whereas capturing this collection:
– Timing: This was essentially the most troublesome factor. As you possibly can see within the pictures I managed to get some objects proper in the midst of the window. These had been very troublesome to ‘catch’ as the prepare was principally shifting fairly quick. My timing for these pictures wanted to be excellent. I did not use ‘burst mode’ on the digicam, as even then the timing could possibly be barely off. I merely waited for the proper second to press the shutter.
– Shutter pace: To keep away from blur within the pictures (apart from those the place I needed the blur for an inventive impact) I wanted to make use of an excellent quick shutter pace. On the whole I’d underexpose the photographs permitting me to make use of a quicker shutter pace. I additionally barely bumped up the ISO to get an excellent quicker shutter pace. The end result was principally photos shot at a shutter pace of round 1/800 to 1/1000 of a second so the picture was sharp.
– Reflections: It was not at all times potential to shoot as reflections within the home windows had been typically too robust. On the whole, it was okay. I eliminated some annoying reflections in post-processing in a number of the photos.
Setup used: Sony A7RIV with Sony 12-24GM Wideangle lens.
This aspect venture was carried out whereas on the prepare with the Connecting Europe Specific to advertise the 2021 EU 12 months of Rail.
