Jon Searles' photos with the keyword: powder

In this photo the train is harder to make out, but that's kind of the point. The huge cloud of snow enveloping the train further adds to the dramatic sense of speed. The crazy thing is that few trains running through Hostivar are doing much more than 60 Km/h.

This to me is a classic pan shot, although many people get shots like this without panning, so I'm not sure if my opinion is really correct.

This is my favorite of the four shots in the pan, although I've chosen to post all four.

I've done a number of express pans, of course, and train pans generally, but it's only a rare opportunity when I can get an express in the snow. Snow, or at least powder, inevitably magnifies the sensation of speed in a photo, or for that matter in real life.
