ufffff, a photo from Sao Paulo, Southeast

Photographer's Note

when i think about blur in my images i realize i love to capture that 'last moment', that feeling the world is escaping from you, like the sand between your fingers. you press the shutter by instinct, one moment and it´s gone forever: it´s magic!

seen at the beautiful Luz train station yesterday.

for you. hope you like it.

I really love this shot. How did you get this angle?? It is very fresh, and to me it definitely conveys the rushed feeling I get in most metro stations. Thank you for sharing. Beautiful colors and composition!

Este e um angulo bastante original, o que faz uma foto muito interessante.

Awesome is the word I should use here. But where on earth were you?? Excellent blur and sharp focus on the stationary face. Was this guy jumping between two trains?

Very interesting picture with a wonderful POV. You stopped that last second. But, I think that the most amazing element here, is your position. Where you flying? Excellent shot!.
Regards,
Jorge

i was laughing in front of my computer, because it is true it gives the feeling you were taking the photo from a helicopter!! and yet i was right there by your side, hahhaha....
anyways, this is AWESOME, and your note is perfect for the shot, you have a very original point of view, you break the rules and the result is always excellent. bravo! & encore!

Hi Isabel.
Very dynamic shot and very nice "tilt effect", good idea.
The POV is perfect too.
Good colors, light and sharpness.

wonderful composition. The tilted colourful roof of the train merged wonderfully with the metallic walls. It suggest a good movement for the blurred element on the picture. You could have cropped a little bit more to get rid of the white pavement at the bottom of the picture.

I like the motion caught in this shot, the angle chosen is nice, and the colours are working good.

I like the bkur very much. The POV is interesting, ws it taken from a bridge or overpass?

Rinie_Hoff (9340) 2005-06-29 7:32

Wow, Isabel, everything fits here, the tilt, the crop, the colors, but most of all the blur, it renders so much dynamism, that is always there in a trainstation, but what did not catch in my persons. I got in in the train pictures.
Very, very nice!

Chere Isabel, now you save me the trouble of depicting the morning crush in Tokyo trains... Thank you for that! This is outstanding, perfect timing, daring tilt and the right shutter speed to yield this ball of dynamism. You really come alive in Sao Paulo.Todo bem! Love, Francis

You certainly get a lot of mileage out of your train shots. Absolutely agree with your note here, I can't really add anything to that.

Serwus Isabel !
I've reviewed Your photos and must definietely say they are absolutely extraordinary. The way You show people in their daily life is very inspiring. I hope I will learn something important from You.

And this is the scene I like very much. Superb point of view, dynamic composition, and the eyesight of that sitting woman - great moment of shooting.

Thank You and best wishes,
Mat
