Minden (Westfalen) Station II

________

The first version was shot minutes before this one somewhere in Germany, 2008.

Farmland from a High Speed Train

__________

Another one of these ICE-3 train shots from Germany. These trains move at speed of 350 km/h. I've always wanted one of these in Canada.

Bridge, Hill, Rails in Germany

____________

Shot off another ICE3 train traveling around 350 km/h back in 2008.

Construction in Koln

________

Construction in Koln while backpacking in Europe, 2008. Shot on Portra VC 160 - scanned and corrected. Shooting a lot of TIFF red carpets this week that I will be posting on this blog!

A Hill in Germany

__________

Shot in 2008 from a moving ICE-3 train. I wanted to put something up that was A) in colour and B) wasn't work related. Also wanted to try a different colour palette and some different editing! Comments and criticism are always welcome, but especially on this one!

Potsdamer Platz Intersection

________

An intersection in Berlin's core. This is close by to where the Führerbunker (Hitler's Bunker) was. We were here in 2008, and I've been looking at this image ever since contemplating what to do with it. I'm finally content with the result. 

Koln Street at Night

__________

This was the first city we went to after we left Amsterdam in 2007. I remember that it was a Sunday and we got to the city after most of the stores were closed. Luckily we were able to find a small grocery and picked up food and beer for the night. Later on in the night I decided to take a few images of our view and this is what resulted. When we travel I'm usually pretty good with directions. When I get back to Toronto I try to Google Map the streets to see where in the city I specifically was in. This is one of the locations that I was unable to pin point when I came home.

A Boat in Koln

A Boat in Colonge, July 2007.

_________

We spent an evening in this beautiful city. Even though this was years ago I can remember this day quite well. I haven't seen these images in years and they make me pretty nostalgic.

Minden (Westfalen) Station

Minden Westfalen, July 2008.

_________

I fiddled with this picture for awhile unable to decide between the colour and black & white version. We were on a train between Amsterdam and Berlin. Between stops we got off for a quick cigarette and I also wanted to take some photos. It looks like every person in this picture is focused on what I'm doing which feels kind of weird.

Philips Lighting Plant Aachen Germany

Philips Lighting Plant Aachen Germany, August 2009

__________

Taken off a bridge on the way to a backyard keggar with my unlce, aunt, cousins and their kinder. There's a night version in the works as well. The factory itself produces the Xenon headlights for automobiles - or so I'm told.

German Landscape from Train

From Europe in the summer, I'm going to work out a series of these photos.

Autobahn from Train

The autobahn somewhere in Germany. Shot from the same train going 250 km/h.
