Hustle & Bustle

When looking at one of my previous shots, Record Breaker, I liked the lead in lines of the barrier. Here I wanted to repeat that look, but also show the cavernous interior of St Pancras Station, along with it's lower level shopping area.

 

I also wanted movement in the people to make them less defined and show them hurrying about. In amongst these people are a young lady chatting to an older man (on the left hand side) and a lady on the right leaning against a pillar. These three will be seen again tomorrow from a different angle.

 

To get the one second exposure I set the 10 second timer and balanced by camera carefully on the barrier. There was a long drop below and the barrier was only about an inch wide and with no strap on the camera my heart was in my mouth a bit.

 

PowerShot G10 ~ 6mm ~ 1 sec ~ f5.6 ~ ISO100 ~ Tv mode.
