@yoasif@mastodon.social it's happening on a stable release and pretty much every time I use Firefox (but not all the time)

No idea who Fret is but i bet he must be a great guy :3

#trainspotting #photography

@louis@social.louis-vallat.dev not necessarily, at least easily and quickly

@louis perhaps

lemme see

I'm quite proud of those, actually

doesn't happen too often

@lykrast@eldritch.cafe littéralement oui

@moof @akalanka i assumed they were the same model as Ouigo TGV in France

@moof @akalanka a, that makes sense

@moof @akalanka no, they aren't

Euroduplexes are the 3rd generation

OuiGo TGV are modified Dasye (2nd generation Duplex)

@akalanka@masto.es no

Ouigo trains are modified TGV Dasye (2nd generation Duplex)

@aroma@ohai.social I thought the bridge will be a nice spot but eh not really, cables and insulators are way too problematic

all photos today shot with 55-200mm Nikon lens

it's fun and was less awkward for me than 70-300 but i still found myself in situations where i'm too close to the subject for it to work

Some more

#photography

Technically I took some shitty photos of TGV M from the window of a train rolling towards gare de Paris Est but that doesn't count

I also NEARLY spotted one going from La Rochelle to Paris through Rennes but didn't have a chance to take a picture

Cc @ic5146@meow.social

so as of right now my list of TGV trains spotted and photographed is:

✅ TGV Atlantique
✅ TGV Réseau
✅ TGV Duplex (1st gen)
✅ TGV Dasye (2nd gen Duplex)
✅ TGV 2N2 / Euroduplex (3rd gen)
✅ TGV Réseau Duplex

Missing are:
❌ TGV Sud-Est (unit 16, preserved and running on special occasions)
❌ TGV POS
❌ TGV M
❌ Eurostar TGVs
❌ TGV IRIS (running laboratory train measuring the LGV network)

@eckler@eldritch.cafe can attest i got very autistically happy upon seeing it and realizing what it is

@flesh@thicc.horse thank u
