My and my family went to the small town of Nora, Sweden to go on a
real steam train. Very beautiful!

I like the engine with the steam. If only it were Kodachrome.

Nice shots. I'm a little puzzled, though, by your insistence on such wide
apertures at the inevitable cost in depth of field. (You certainly had plenty
of latitude in the shutter speed.) This is particularly noticeable in the
first picture, where the manufacturer's nameplate could have been sharper.

In the fourth picture I might have tried to show a little more of the fountain
at which the girl was looking. But I guess it would have resulted in an
awkwardly wide image.

Note that I've not criticized the blown-highlight background in the third
picture. Somebody probably will, but I won't. ;^)

What worried me most about the first picture was the perspective
distortion caused by taking the photo from close range. I'm sure it's
correctable in post processing and this would improve the image in my
mind.

In the fourth picture I might have tried to show a little more of the fountain
at which the girl was looking. But I guess it would have resulted in an
awkwardly wide image.

I know what you mean. I am a sucker for short focal planes, and it
sometimes gets ahead of me and I stick my aperture as large as possible
and just adjust the shutter. I'm not that bothered with the nameplate
myself, but I know lots of images I've taken where the short depth of
field more or less ruined the shot.

In the fourth picture I might have tried to show a little more of the fountain
at which the girl was looking. But I guess it would have resulted in an
awkwardly wide image.

I had a wider version of this, but it was neither here nor there. This
one just felt better.

Note that I've not criticized the blown-highlight background in the third

Haha, yeah that sucked. I had this perfect shot of the engine from
another angle, but it was out of focus... :/


Thanks for your comments, though

Hi Jonas,

Thanks for the nice pictures. I especially enjoyed the trains, as they
reminded me of my youth, when I actually rode in steam powered trains,
both in the USA and in Europe.

You will get many critiques about your pictures on line; some of them
are genuine and nice, while some of them are unfair to say the least. It
is hardly polite or fair to criticize a Swedish person's command of
English; how many of us speak any Swedish? (I know only Svenska flicka e
vakra.)

Keep up the good work, and keep up your nice picture posts.

Regards,

Well, the people that give me grief for misspelling a words are usually
those I have corrected in the past. Not with spelling, mind you, but the
usage of words where they've used a word in a "funny" way.

It's ok, I can take it. I don't have any pride invested in my spelling
and grammar and I know I make lots of mistakes (even when writing in
Swedish!)

Cheers!

It is not unfair when the Swedish person starts criticizing usage of
American English, especially the spelling of artificial words. Please
don't start that one again.

I hope he does.

Peter, please, when did I *criticize* the *spelling* of "artificial
words"? I expect a link to this critique in your followup or admission
of making an incorrect claim. Failing both makes you a liar, just so you
know.

YOU are the one starting it again, Peter, when you make such ludicrous
claims.

I am too lazy to find the ink, where you "corrected" my spelling.
