20141201_1012 Stand Clear, Doors Closing (Mon 01 Dec)

Bondi Junction Railway Station, NSW

An attempt to catch a candid of a train's moment before departure. Unfortunately it wasn't surreptitious enough (the female guard sprung me, I think) though the Canon would have been vastly more obtrusive, and it wasn't fast enough since the motion blur is too little to be dynamic and too much to freeze the moment.

I have a long standing bias for not going over ISO 800 that I'll probably have to overcome, as I think the E-M1 can probably handle it well enough based on other E-M1 shots that I've seen.

Oh well, worth a shot.

I had a run in with a worker on the subway in Chicago 2 years back. I was taking photos of a train, but from the way they reacted it was of the secret plans to the most guarded thing in the world. Ughhhh, I hate public transportation.

I like the blur. It creates a sense of movement. A great candid scene. Nice capture of the man in the train too. I feel comfortable going up to 2500 with the E-M1. 6400 if really necessary and if using noise reduction software. V
