yes, pbase did report the exif incorrectly ... i went and checked it both on the original file and on my smugmug gallery - this was handheld, 1/6th second, f/2.2 with my sony f828. i used my neckstrap method with the 828, essentially you swivel the body fully, pull down on the necktstrap really tight, and brace the camera against your body. here's the actual exif: 2004-02-26 09:33:02 Make: SONY Model: DSC-F828 Aperture: f/2.2 ISO: 64 Focal Length: 7.1mm (28mm in 35mm equivalent) Exposure Time: 0.1666s (10/60) Exposure Program: Manual LightSource: 10 White Balance: manual

Good point. Let's say she moved 4 inches during the exposure (that's what it looks like to me). Then she'd have to be going about 23 mph to be blurred that much. That's a sprint. I doubt she's sprinting with two suitcases. Pbase messes up EXIF data sometimes. Maybe that's what happened here. -- Victor

It's fantastic. I just wonder, does that lady really move so fast to be blurred in 1/100s? TomasCx

Agree with the others, excellent image. Very "motion-picture-like" yet not artificial. /Jonas Svedberg

I really like the feel of this image. The main character is so effectively defined by the light, his orientation, differential clothing, and a vacant stare that tells the story of waiting for, I presume, train. Where you sitting or did you drop down to capture it?

Andy, This is really a great picture. theFly

Andy, thats a rare capture. The guy really seems to be struck (or enlightened) by rays as if by lightning. The effect is emphasized by a normal movement of persons around

Wow! That's such a neat shot... reminds me of one I took last year... I'll have to go find it (little kid standing still with everything moving around them). Jeff
