ICE in the Face

Description

Taken just before this one:



Third generation ICE train thundering towards your face!

Now I do realize that this photo is flawed in several ways, most obvious problems being the top of the train and the sign being cut off. I would've used the previous shot, but that wasn't quite as sharp as this one. And I just LOVED the feel of it, how extremely close the train seems to be, and keep in mind, it was doing 125mph when I shot it! 500mm telezoom ftw!

Many photographers frown upon such images, as there's no landscape or anything, only the front of the train is well visible. But to me, that's one of the most enticing ways of photographing my object of interest. It's so large, powerful, looming, brutal, dynamic, unstoppable, everything that makes trains so awesome. Even technologically retarded locomotives like the class 66 can become epic after a close crop treatment.
