The D train

A focus-stacked image of the D train coming into subway station Lafayette on Broadway, NYC.

 

My original intention with the stack of images I took as the train passed by, was to create to a synthetic long exposure, but the result was not what I expected and not engaging. To produce the image here, I reprocessed the stack slices as a focus stack, a procedure that depends on the subject being static. The movement of the train between stack slices has resulted in strong artefacts which I find quite engaging. There's scope in this technique to explore what emerges as focus stacking software is used on other moving subjects.
