Russia Trans-Siberian Railway Tour Vladivostok - Moscow 01 August - 30 August 2018

Handy Foto

Während dieser Tour kam auch die Handy Kamera zum Einsatz. Ein Grund waren die langen Zugfahrten zwischen 20 - 48 Stunden. Die Zug Sicht Scheiben konnte man nicht öffnen, ledeglich im Gang war eine kleine Scheibe welche man kippen konnte. Diese Öffnung war aber für das Canon Objektiv zu klein. Aber mit der Handy Kamera konnte man trotz Fahrtwind fotografieren. Auch das Laden der Batterien im Zug war limitiert da in der Sommersaison die Züge voll ausgelastet sind. Die Bilder welche mit dem Handy aufgenommen wurden sind mit "Handy Photo" beschrieben.     

Mobile Photo

During this tour, the mobile phone camera was also used. One reason was the long train runs between 20 - 48 hours. The train view glass pane you could not open, only in the hallway was a small glass pane which one could tilt. This opening was too small for the Canon lens. But with the mobile phone camera, you could take pictures despite the wind. The charging of batteries in the train was limited because, in the summer season, the trains are fully utilized. The pictures which were taken with the mobile phone are described with "Handy Photo".
