Shinkansen in Flight

Posted by Daryl (Amagasaki, Japan) on 24 May 2007 in Transportation and Portfolio.

This is what you can see from the park in the previous two days' shots. This shinkansen (bullet train) is a 'Nozomi Super Express' if I remember rightly, on its way down to Hakata.

I've made it up to 500 images! I've now decided to drop 'Daroru' and go with 'Daryl'. Because that's my name.

Absolutely awesome shot D! Love what you've done with the colour, the composition and the way it fills the frame. Excellent work.

Sorry I've not been around much. Just back from a 9 day trip back to Scotland and trying to catch up.

Got to ride the Shinkansen between Takasaki and Nagano over the GW holidays. Must have been the first time in close to twenty years. I had forgotten just how blasted fast they seem from the inside. You did well to get that picture. Do they not have everything blocked off with chain link fence where you are?

@Mike Cash: Thanks Mike. Took this through the fence, from the location in the previous 2 days' shots. Had to do a bit of cropping to tidy it up, lens wouldn't quite fit through the links! Are you excited about the new shinkansen about to make its debut...?
