Shukan Gendai Magazine - Train Shooting Spot of the Week

[gmat]

Toni, living in Japan, has anyone pointed out to you a weekly page in the magazine Shukan Grendai that has a very nice train photograph, a small map showing the shooting spot near the tracks and a ticket for that line. I look at it each week. Be warned that it's also a men's magazine so there are color pages that might raise your girlfriend's eyebrows. But the train page makes it worth a peek. I look at it each week, but never buy it.

Sorry can't find an example of the page on the internet.

 

Best wishes,

Okay, thanks for the info! I'll take a peek in it next time I'm in the bookstore. Tetsudou Fan also has articles like these of where to find the best photo-spots.

 

My standards, despite my utterly crappy material, are quite high, since I don't want any signs, wires and catenary poles interfering in my pictures. Very hard...

A men's magazine with a weekly train photography spot, only in Japan.

I just read the men's magazines for the railfan articles, yeah that's it... :)

It was until I noticed the page. Now I look for the page first.

This week has a head shot of an SL on a line in Hokkaido. 

I wonder if I could scan the page to show people what it's like.
