It's a long way to the summit

Last weeks I'm quite busy with all kind of activities, except making pictures. That's why I dug into my digital photo shoe box and found this image which i took precisely 1 year ago in Switzerland. It shows the red train in the distance, ready to climb up into (!) mount Eiger, the Mönch and Jungfraujoch up to 3750 meters. Well I enjoyed the view, hope you too.

N.B. I took this shot from a driving train moving down the mountain.

PP work: Shot in JPEG, adjusted highlights, contrast and brightness (minor). Crop lower part to create a more panoramic view. Resized and sharpened, add small frame.

Lovely view Hans - nice compo, well balanced (to me at least) and sharp. You've also nailed the exposure with the brightness of the snow against the lower fields looking just right.

Cheers

Hi Hans,

This is a very nice view. The POV is fantastic, with the train giving a good sense of scale. The image (and I imagine the air) is nice and crisp, with excellent light management.

Best regards,
Werner

A shot that really captures the breathtaking view beautifully. Composition is nicely layered, with foothills, mountain and sky all taking their places within the frame. The sharp clear detail is excellent - and the train is the absolute winning touch!

Hi Hans,
Very sharp and clear view on this snowy mountain. I am amazed to know you took it aboard of a train, the details are so fine!
Excellent polarizer effect. I would like to be in the train climbing up. Wow, 3750 meters I think that I would fear lacking air! :)
Continue to dig into your digital photo shoe box, there is good substance!!
My compliments!
Annie

Hello,

merveilleuse vue du ces fameuses montages et sommet, elles ont un très belle forme, avec la couhe fine de neige, la couleur de l'herbe jaunie, le train qui descend, quel ensemble merveilleux.

Bravo et amitié

Nicou

Hi Hans

The 4 red carriages of the train & the railway track up the mountain, caught my eye here. A spectacular alpine scene, with the snow accentuating the graphism. Good sharpness & framing. Tfs!
