the "S" of Stefano?... havent been to norway but would love to... i would definitely try to see this region if i go, sounds charming... i like the curve of the railway climbing up giving the shot a soft perspective...

regards

Hallo Stefano!
A really beautiful and inventive photo! The buildup truly is skillful and including these hikers works very well. I have been there many years ago!
Greetings from summerly Germany!

Hello Stefano,

The composition and the framing are very good there. The curves of the rails are driving nicely the look in the picture from foreground to background.
It should have been an interesting experience to take this train.

Hi Stefano.
A very good image indeed. I like the way the railway snakes across the scene. The people on the left add life and colour. The DOF is really good here, in this excellent, creative composition. Well done.
Regards,
Andrew

Ciao Stefano,
una nota molto interessante, come la prospettiva col zoom. Cosi´ le curve sembrano piu´estreme come sono in realta´, forse.

Ciao Stefano,
Composizione perfetta ! Veramente un gran scatto la "S" in salita delle rotaie presa con il teleobiettivo è colpo d'occhio formidabile.bravo
Ciao

Come fanno i treni in Norvegia a fare certe curve non si sa...
ma la foto è bella proprio per questa esse della ferrovia.

Hi Stefano,
Quite impressive angle where use of tele and a walking path next to line emphasize steepness. And the S curve looks great of course.
It is not the steepest railway line in the world though. Here's one example of a steeper line.
(Wikipedia page of Flåmsbana claims that it's the third steepest adhesion railway, but that's not true either.)

Ciao Stefano,
questa la definirei la classica "Smarcellata" ... queste foto qua le sai trovare solo te, una inquadratura davvero incredibile, persino il 55 segue la prospettiva...Bho non so' come riesci, secondo me hai un diaframma nelle palpebre!!
PS: grazie per le dritte sul Telemark, si in effetti uno dei miei difetti (oltre la sovraesposizione) è quello di viaggiare di corsa per vedere il + possibile.
Ciao, buona giornata

Stefano,
an image that works extremely well just because you had the patience and the eye to seee that you need some people included in the curve to provide the right scale and the impression of steepness of the traintracks. otherwise it wouldn't have worked. i guess you used a high focal lenght to achieve some compression effect, right?

Thats lovely and so beautifully captured. the hues are perfect and the mood is sooo...i want to step off the train and start walking on the tracks!!!

Great perspective shot!
Very hard to get a deep depth of field here, the f/8 helped a lot but your exposure could have been a little longer (say, 1/100) to accomodate a smaller apperture (say, f/12?) if your objective allowed it (I don't see your camera model). Then again, my current camera could'nt have given more anyway :D
Great curves on the railway, and the people give a sense of scale.

Also, it does seem as this is not the first but in fact the third steepest adhesion railway in the world.

To my knowledge, some Cog Railways are much steeper, such as the Mount Washington cog railway , the second steepest in the world.
I don't know which one is THE steepest, it should be in the list.
