Hurry hurry hurry...

From the bowels of Union Station... for the camera settings challenge...

A comparatively slow shutter speed allows for clarity of the static parts of the scene, but leaves the people looking a bit like whirling dervishes... which is pretty much a reflection of reality in the big city :) the only processing is crop and conversion to black and white...

Another skyline shot in my main album:

[Rinus van der Craats]

Nice shot, i see the hurry

[Lisa Pouncy]

Great shot. It really shows the busy-ness xx

[Humphrey Hippo]

Very cool motion. Do you hand-hold or rest the camera on something? Just wondering what your the 'success rate' is like.

[Joanna Payne]

Is your city inhabited by one-legged people?! Love the shot very much though!

[John]

Busy busy busy, cool motion shot

[Dana Palermo]

Fantastic shot!! lots of movement to it and I love how you chose b&w!!!

[Joy Morley]

Awesome B&W, great movement!

[Michelle]

This is brilliant

[Alexis Birkill]

Great shot and great example of a longer shutter speed. Was this handheld or with a tripod? We're not allowed to use tripods in the Vancouver Skytrain stations :(

[☠northy]

@abirkill @humphreyhippo this was handheld... i think i was crouched down for this one, but i don't remember! if i was standing up, i would have leaned back on something to help me keep steady...this is probably at the limit of what i can manage handheld regardless...

[Caryn]

Ooh, I like!

[Stacey]

You have a lot of one legged folk traversing the bowels of TO? ha ha. great movement shot.

[Cassandra Hoffmann]

Nice one! How you do these shots just out in the open is beyond me... I'm way too much of a scaredy cat lol.

[❀ Lynn]

Good one...you have caught the city feeling really well.

[Peter de Graaff]

Fabulous movement and stairs

[Kelly]

Love the sense of movement and the industrial nature of this

[Bankmann]

Very cool picture. ;-)

[Lyn Todd]
