Morning Lake Shots + Trains

in GEMS3 years ago

The weather seems to have turned warmer again, which is a bit disappointing. Next week should be different though, starting from Monday.

I took the four lake shots in the morning around 9 am.

That large island is called Enonsaari. There is a camping ground on it. The island is accessible by ferry in the summer months.

The district of Niemi. I love the subtle lights. I used a tripod and set the exposure time at 1/3 seconds. ISO 100. Aperture 1/6.3.

That's the boat club main building. There's a pretty good restaurant in it.


The train shots were taken in the afternoon.

The diesel locomotives had a dozen+ box cars to pull.

I saw the driver walking back and forth along the train to check everything was in order before departure.

I also saw this electric locomotive back up to connect with the following Russian cars:

The driver is back in the locomotive again. He, too, was walking back and forth along the train to check it.

A local train just departed.

Here are some of the last cars of the train pulled by the two diesel engines.
