On my way home by halkia

On my way home

5:03 pm: People doing what people usually do in trains: reading, sleeping, chatting or checking their mobile phones.

I really had to step out of my comfort zone to take this shot. I converted the image into black & white because it somehow seemed too personal in colour. All in all this felt pretty uncomfortable - I can't really see myself pursuing this kind of photos in the future.

I would like to thank everyone for all the comments and fav's on my last two shots! Quite an overwhelming response that really put a smile on my face :)
Good for you for stepping out of your comfort zone. This is well done, it really captures everyone in thier own worlds. I just can't bring myself to snap pictures of people on the bus, it's too enclosed. At least outside you can step away, but on the bus you are stuck with them for the remainder of the trip, LOL.

Cool shot. Different from yesterday's. The guy on the right looks like he is seriously into reading!!

Great capture! That guy looks very serious with that frown!!

Good capture and I like the usage of B&W

I think this is a scary thing to do, you're brave! the B&W really works, I also dod a B&W shot today...
I love how everybody is minding his own buisness, or nap ;-)

Dergelijke foto's zie ik mezelf nog niet maken...

Really good. Black and white is suited to this shot.

Heel overtuigend in zwart/wit. Je hebt alle mensen op een hele leuke manier in beeld.

Kan me voorstellen dat dit een beetje raar was om te doen. Toch kijkt niemand op, en datis juist zo mooi aan deze foto...

Great job here Judith - I still can't get into the candids either, and I agree, converting to B&W seems a good thing to do!! this is a great shot - captured the commute home well!
April 6th, 2011  
Nice job, they didn't even notice you!
April 6th, 2011  
Wonderful slice of life moment!

I love the expressions on everyone's faces! Great shot!

Love the candid! Great shot!

I totally understand what you mean by it being uncomfortable taking this kind of shot - which is why I haven't dared yet! This is a really good picture though! Gives me some inspiration to get out of my comfort zone, too! Well done :)

Brilliant Openbaar Vervoer shot...brings back memories.
April 7th, 2011  
Haha! You couldn't have asked for better facial expressions-- very nice!

good shot. met up with a fellow 365er last night and we were discussing these candid shots... neither of use are comfortable doing this but wished we were...

@andycoleborn I wish I were too, because the results can be amazing. But as I mentioned I don't think I will be doing a lot of these in the future...
April 7th, 2011  
@hinhoutbay Dank je! Did you live in the Netherlands?
April 7th, 2011  
Heh, perfect in B&W - almost seems like everyone is posing!
April 9th, 2011  
I like this in B&W. Would have found this hard too.
