did this come out of the camera as this or was it's dynamic range compressed?
if a) is right, which camera?
Posted by oernii at May 11, 2010 02:28 AMThe TGV goes up to 320 km/h in normal operation. Higher speeds were reached on tests only.
Posted by Roman at May 11, 2010 02:51 AMHi there from France,
i've subscribed to the RSS feed of your website.
Just to tell you that TGV is moving at a max of 320 km/h, even if technically it can go faster.
& go on publishing nice photos!
Posted by Seb at May 11, 2010 03:18 AM500 km/h is only reached by custom trains, modified to break the speed record on rail.
Usual speed with passengers on the Paris-Strasbourg track is 320 km/h.
Nice shot, as usual. I'm living in Strasbourg, I hope you had time to visit the city and make beautiful shots.
Posted by sysedit at May 11, 2010 03:43 AMEpic sky Sam! Happy Trails!
Posted by lyn at May 11, 2010 04:28 AMAwesome sky!
Posted by Tobias at May 11, 2010 04:45 AMGreat picture!
The TGV indeed detains the speed record for trains on wheels (575km/h or 357 mph), but on conventional journeys with passengers the top speed is actually around 320 km/h (200 mph).
Great image! Like the colors.
Posted by Luis Gomez at May 11, 2010 08:35 AMGood sky!
I'm really loving photos taken from vehicles at the moment. I really enjoy taking them too, it's almost as though you know it's not going to be technically perfect so the pressure's off. Trouble is, I worry that when I look back at the pictures my response to them is coloured by how I felt when I was taking them, and that to other people they're just a messy picture.
Posted by Gary at May 11, 2010 08:52 AMWhat a beautiful scene and shot. Almost perfectly framed, it shows great depth and expansiveness.
Posted by Douglas at May 11, 2010 08:53 AMStunning clouds! I'm curious what the yellow fields are; something in bloom I'm guessing.
Posted by Mark Johnson at May 11, 2010 09:49 AMWorth it for the cloud alone. I have been surprised by some of your shots from moving vehicles. I recall a field of pumpkins that was a total winner.
Posted by Hugh Petrie at May 11, 2010 10:13 AMVery expressive view
Great colors and sky
Love it
Oh wow beautiful shot.
Posted by Fashionistable at May 11, 2010 12:13 PMhaha i think i might be the 12th one. but ..
the clouds FTW! :D
The field of pumpkins is still my wallpaper.
In this picture, while the sky is great, I think it's the brilliant yellow strip at the horizon that makes it.
Posted by Eric S. Smith at May 11, 2010 10:11 PMI can just imagine what a great hot would be if there was a tornado or storm approaching across the field.
Posted by Perennial Gardens at May 12, 2010 06:53 AMNice, making me crave a trip to france.
Posted by Melissa Mercier at May 12, 2010 08:47 PMLove this shot. I think the yellow is rape from which rape/canola oil comes.
