Lan, those are some beautiful trains you posted but the lands they travel over are beautiful, too.

I have a question for you: in this thread are boats and ships included?

Thank you Box Man!

I can't speak for everyone else, but boats and ships sound good to me - go for it

 

[Lan]

Very good work, Lan!
Great to see you found some nice colour and even some sunny spells

André

Thank you André, I did indeed! I do love taking pictures of the bulb fields. There's nothing like seeing a few million daffodils in the sun - if I can add trains to that, then I'm a very happy person

Great to see the usual suspects starting to post here - keep up the good work!

Thanks, Lan, for the reply! If ships were not intended for this thread then I won't post any. Either way I am okay.

Let me throw in a bunch of planes!

Taken with a Nikon D90 + 70-300mm lens.

The D90 performed quite well here. I guess this is one reason why it was so popular in its day. Great shots!

Thanks. Those are from an airshow in New Hampshire a couple of years ago. I think I took 1,500+ shots that day .
I have now a D500 as well, which compared to the D90 is a speed demon and has better low ISO performance (among many other differences). However, I still use the 13-yr old D90 as a backup body when I do not want to swap lenses and the shooting conditions are within its capabilities.

N700 Shinkansen

The white Shinkansen in the photo is arguably the most widely taken bullet train, connecting the Tokyo Metro area with its eastern destinations, as well as major cities like Yokohama, Nagoya, Kyoto, and Osaka.

Full steam ahead!! LOL
