Green tourist train of Sardinia, a photo from Nuoro, Sardegna

Photographer's Note

TOURIST GREEN TRAIN OF SARDINIA in Seui (Ogliastra) railway station.

One of the best ways to cross and get to know the different aspects of the landscape of the island, especially the interior, is a journey with the Green Train. The train passes through an area rich in vegetation where the railway line, bridges, stations, 'houses always seem to be part of the landscape, perfectly placed in an environment sometimes only accessible by rail. And the train moves at the right speed, allowing the traveler to see and know better the landscape, vegetation, which change so slowly as you go on the line.

俟ardinia is a large, normal, not at all irregular, but that fades in the distance.
It gives a feeling of space ... enchanting space and distance to travel around, nothing finished, nothing definite.
It 's like freedom itself.� - David Herbert Lawrence

Hello Mario,
nice the view of the image with the lines of the train to create an excellent texture on the ground.The existence of the green train makes the scene more effective.

Hello Mario,I like the perspective gained by using the rail tracks,nice work to include the green train which adds interest.
I`m not sure about the green border though.
Best wishes Les.

Bonjour Mario,
Excellent choix de la d廥aturation partielle, d'autant que la couleur de ce train est particuli鋨ement voyante ! Le passage du reste de la photo au noir et blanc donne un petit c矌� intemporel qui sied bien avec le paysage.
Belle profondeur de champ.
Amicalement,
Delphine

Hi Mario
Impressive composition of train station with long perspective and extensive depth with strong diagonal lines. Love to see how the lines lead the eyes smoothly to the far background and the selective colouring also adds a very distint and lovely effect. This one is a bit different from your normal works. But pretty cool and creative, for it does add to what would be just an ordinary image. Lots of details and superbly exposed, excellent tones and contrast. Well seen and taken
Best regards

ashres (1055) 2011-10-07 8:23

Hi Mario
nice picture with b/w treatment highlighting the subject. Liked the inclusion of perspective of tracks leading to the train. You may would like to add more contrast and play on brightness for the b/w part. Anyway, nice capture,
tfs,

ashish

ciao Mario,
un tema quello delle vecchie stazioni che guardo e leggo sempre con interesse, ne avete parlato varie volte anche con GF.
Buon B&W con il verde del locomotore che da il senso della foto.
buona giornata
maurizio

Ciao Mario, bella desaturazione parziale con il delizioso trenino verde, bella la prospettiva sui binari, gran bel regalo per un appassionato di vecchie ferrovie come me, grazie, bravo, buon week end, ciao Silvio

rodgerg (55767) 2011-10-08 4:26

Ciao caro Mario,

Questo PPlavoro e una ottima idea con il verde che sorgo molto ben nel nero & bianco ricco in bei contrasti ben captati. Punto di vista ben scento anche con le linee che ducono il nostro sgurado e danno profondit� alla composizione.
Ti auguro una buona fine di settimana,
Roger

Cricri (176) 2011-10-08 9:37

Ciao Mario,
an interesting experiment and effect but version in WS is better for me. Well composed image. Fine sharpness, too.
Have a nice evening.
Aleksander

jemaflor (146274) 2011-10-09 9:14

Hi Mario,
Good composition with depth with these line and the pov, interesting effect with green color in this b&w view.

vasilpro (41801) 2011-10-09 13:16

Hello Mario,
Wonderful composition, lovely light and tones, excellent POV, very good clarity and sharpness, I like the B&W presentation more than the colored on WS (maybe without the green details) but you fit them with the title, very nice framework.
Warm regards, Vasilis.

bayno (18348) 2011-10-09 13:51

Ciao Mario, bella immagine, i binari sono sempre affascinanti e misteriosi, non sai mai dove ti portano e in pi� offrono un ottima grafica, la stazioncina � fuori dal mondo, i posti che piaccono a me....ottimo l'effetto della desaturazione parziale, il trenino verde � una chicca...ho visto anche il WS, buona serata, valter

paololg (31448) 2011-10-10 14:24

Ciao caro Mario,
l'esperimento della desaturazione quasi totale � riuscito alla grande, realizzando uno scatto interessante e significativo. Hai lascito giusto il verde del treno, per enfatizzare l'attenzione su di esso, giustamente, perch� � il vero soggetto.
Giusta anche la tua scelta di postare nel WS anche la foto a colori. Complimenti!
Ciao, buon marted�!
Paolo

mjdundee (4663) 2011-10-10 23:34

Ciao Mario,
Eyecatching green! I like your compo. Great PP work.
The central view between the curving tracks leading to the left are compensated by the spot colour of the tram on the right. Very well thought!
Have a nice day,
Thomas

Sergiom (117241) 2011-10-11 6:20

Ciao Maurio

J'aime beaucoup le travail de post production de cette image. Les rails guident le regard vers le train et donnent beaucoup de profondeur � l'image. Le vert est tr鋊 beau.

Amicalement

Serge

Angshu (56760) 2011-10-11 20:55

Ciao Mario
The partial desaturation works well emphasizing on the green. The tracks offer good lead-in & perspective while the instrument in the FG is a strong focal point
Well done!
Best Regards
Angshu

ikeharel (112419) 2011-10-12 1:50

Buongiorno Mario,
The WS in colors give just a bit of natural tone to the whole, Though your choise on B&W made this area as in old times.
I like both, and your note on the green train is enlighting.
Good details on image, the place is lovely, if can be said about a RR station.
Ciao
Ike

COSTANTINO (115515) 2011-10-12 10:10

polpo56 (15146) 2011-10-12 23:45

Ciao Mario,
devo dire che l'interpretazione cromatica � molto in linea con il tema della foto.
Mi piace molto il POV scelto che consente di sentirsi dentro la ferrovia.
Tante volte ho pensato che mi piacerebbe prendere questo trenino verde; prima o poi lo far�.

Buona giornata

Ludo

arijit_ghosh86 (795) 2011-10-13 4:40

delpeoples (60342) 2011-10-15 3:29

Caro Mario

Una scena senza tempo e molto particolare con il saturazione parziale. Bellissimo il verde con il cornice cosi. Mi piace molto le linee che vengono dalle angole. Complimenti, e' proprio bella.

Un abbraccio e ti auguro un buon weekend
Lisa

macjake (98262) 2011-10-18 3:18

Hi Mario
I liked this photo from the moment i noticed it.
The color extraction is cool, but whats even better are the converging railway lines, and how they meet at the bottom fg. the bw really works well in this scene.
i'm very impressed with this shot
cheers
craig

lakshmip1949 (19081) 2011-10-18 6:00

Hello Mario,

The green color bus stands out in this B&W image. I like the way you have captured the railway tracks leading the eye to the bus and the sheds. A very sharp image with great atmosphere.

Lakshmi

annjackman (23019) 2011-10-19 23:22

Hello Mario,
Your position gives a great pespective with the rails making lovely shapes and taking the eyes into the picture. The b/w treatment has picked up lovely textures and detail and the green train is creative and very well done.
Regards, Ann

boa (8039) 2011-10-20 11:02

Hi Mario,
i like to travel by train and do that as often it is possible. This train line would be a great adventure to try sometime. The green train works very well in this b/w shot. Fine composition and an excellent note, Tfs !
Have a nice evening.
Boa

BluSimo (9392) 2011-10-30 15:20

Ciao Mario
a me le stazioni ferroviarie mettono tristezza, sono luoghi di addii e di lacrime, sono posti dove si dice "torno presto" e a volte � solo un modo di dire tra i tanti:-)
Per� questo � un modo diverso di rappresentare questo posto. La ripresa fatta dal centro dei binari � particolarmente suggestiva, la leva in primo piano e i binari che serpeggiano sono un'altra cosa ripresi cos�, anzich� dal marciapiede. bello anche la colorazione parziale.
buona settimana
Simonetta

Fellini (6407) 2011-11-02 12:29

Ehi, ciao Mario, un piacere rivederti qui!
Davvero molto efficace questa desaturazione parziale, poi la cornice verde e la presentazione sono molto eleganti. Pensavo di averli gi� visti questi tuoi ultimi scatti ... poi mi sono accorto che tu e Gianfranco uscite sempre insieme per le foto e praticamente lui scatta quasi dagli stessi POV e poi li posta su altro sito.
Ad ogni modo Baddori � molto meno pratico nella gestione della postproduzione e tu riesci sempre a rifinire degli ottimi lavori di composizione con la camera oscura digitale...complimenti!
Buona giornata
Ales

gmg (4202) 2011-11-06 2:56

Ciao Mario!

Io adoro le vecchie ferrovie e le opportunit� fotografiche che offrono! Queste foto avrei voluto farla io! Bella anche la PP in bianconero e la scelta di mantenere il verde della motrice.
Saluti

Hi Mario
Beautiful selective dessaturation giving a nice result. The mixt of green an B&W is well done. Good framing with the perspectice lines made by the rails and starting form the corner.
regards
bernard

kennyblack (4207) 2012-05-08 5:30

Ciao Mario
I binari, sebbene molto sfruttati nelle immagini, riescono dare un effetto particolare sapendo che ci possono portare in qualsiasi posto del pianeta. Mi piace il POV ed il locomotore evidenziato in verde che ravviva tutta l' immagine in B/N. Grazie per la condivisione.
Un caro saluto ed augurio di buona giornata ... Marino

serp2000 (47063) 2012-05-27 20:31

Ciao, Mario,
Wow! Good idea and excellent realisation. Well done. I like this way to show us the main object of the photo.
An interesting panorama of an old train station.
Have a good week!

Hi Mario,
Excellent selective colour, and wonderful composition. The little train reminds me of one of the characters in Thomas the Tank Engine :) The tracks lead us into the shot beautifully.
Best wishes

bonsoir Mario,
Belle conception et bonne id嶪 de conserver la touche de vert du train dans un ensemble noir et blanc.
