Who says it needs to be in focus…

DC Metro Station.  As the train goes by…

If I could carry my large camera with me everywhere without attracting attention, I would.  Mostly when traveling, I carry my small point and shoot camera that has all manual controls.  I made sure the flash wouldn’t go off (can you imagine???)  It also has a movable screen so I can “shoot from the hip” and see what I’m getting.  These lower angle shots offer a different perspective on the world.  This shot with all it’s motion is more “realistic” that a shot that’s rock still.  This captures more than just the moment as the train moves by.  The movement in the ceiling gives a sense of vibration that the train creates as it’s moving through the station.  The people on the left lets you identify with the group of folks waiting for the train.  It’s perfect that they are in business suites and not tourists.  This is a working, work day station with hustle and bustle and places to go and people to see!  Even the lit sign on the train seems to be talking to us…” I have an appointment and I’m in a hurry…”  Speaking of which…

More later…
