Day 156


I love this picture. It's more surreptitious photography but I've been able to capture the sense of bustle in a busy, international rail station. There were lots of similar but this was favourite.

Great capture - the movement and the group that is standing. Nice composition

Cheers guys! I have to say this is one of my favourite photos in a long time. The coppers were a bit concerned I was going to throw myself from the high, glass partition whch I had to climb to make the shot but once they realised I was some crazy photographer, it was all cool!

That's a great shot. I 'm having trouble figuring out how you captured it. Slow shutter would capture the movement but how did you get the larger group of people to stand still?

Katy Swift said...

Daddy - I can give you the stats and see if that makes things cleraer for you - Shutter speed 0.4 ISO 80. This kinda stuff is a bit beyond me I'm afraid. I just play around, take the shot and see what comes out. I guess I really should read up some more then it'd be less hit or miss.

I think part of it was to do with the fact that the static crowd are old and therefore not likely to move so fast anyway ;)

Thank you hun. I'm not ignoring you - for some reason whenever I look at your blog, I get kicked off. Hopefull I'll sort the problem. It's maddening not being able to comment on your lovely shots.
