1/500 | f8 | 200mm | ISO12800
Yesterday I wrote about how the 200mm lence gives me the option to limit my field of view in a positive way.

I saw this very beautiful Schindelhauer on the train to Preetz, a city some minutes outside Kiel. I usually find it very difficult to take pictures of bikes on trains. The light is difficult, background is usuallay difficult, possible angles are limited due to the narrow cabins. All together it is very difficult to take full bike portratis on trains. I keep trying but never realy come home with satisfying results. Even though I had tried focussing on detail shots before. Until now.
This time, I was forced to focus on details because there was no chance to find an angle that would enable me to get the full bike in the frame. At the same time the narrow angle reduces the amount of background information which helped a lot to focus on the detail I want to focus on and keep out distracting background info that is distracting.

PS: The person that I beleive was the owner was so nicely dressed that I would have loved to take portraits of him with his bike ... but a lack of time and little courage to go the way where stronger that day.

Well done NSW Rail! Bike storage on trains. Not every carriage, nor every train, but some. It's progress.

Better than the antediluvian #Canberra to #sydney service.

(No snakey comments please. In the event another cyclist gets on I will remove all the baggage and stow mine properly. In the meantime the old truck is enjoying having the space to itself.)

My bike has its own reservation #commute #cycling #BikeTooter #BikesOnTrains

@jon This #TER between #Hendaye and #Bordeaux has an extra dedicated #bike space with staff on hand to help. Between May and September they've closed off a few extra places and each TER can accept up to fifteen bikes. At each stop a man jumps out and puts a flag up.

Now if they could just do the same for babies...

I'm back on trains today, trying to get from Freudenstadt to Donaueschingen taking my bike with me, should be 2 hours with one change. Except the middle of the second train is a replacement bus now.

Current plan is to try going as far by train as possible, ride over the "gap" and take a train on the other side again. Worst case ride all the way or sleep in the woods.

#bikesontrains lots of other bikes on trains today too

I am now on the train from Frankfurt Main to Paris (with stops in Mannheim, Karlsruhe, Strasbourg). It's the last leg of my trip from Wrocław (Poland). The train is a TGV Duplex.

On the platform I saw people disassembling their bikes so I would assume that there are no bike places. WiFi works. 10/n
