Platform 2

On the way to Upton Park for the West Ham v Birmingham match on Easter Monday I took this shot while waiting for the tube. This was a Metropolitan Line train to Aldgate so I waited for the next one which was a Hammersmith and City Line train which went all the way to Upton Park.

 

As the train left the station I took the shot. Getting the balance right between having a long enough exposure to blur the train but short enough to keep the rest sharp was a little bit of guesswork. The camera was pushed up against a pillar and partially rested on a small ledge to try and reduce camera shake.

 

PowerShot G10 ~ 6mm ~ 1/4 ~ f5.6 ~ ISO200 ~ Tv mode.
