subways are fun...

on a darker note, there was a suicide on one of the stations

I really like those shots Serge and the timing is good, they have a spooky feel.

So how did you do them?

grab the first cart, camera at F4.0 iso 100, 5-6 sec shutter, press up against the glass, shutter, twist, viola.

These are fun, but dangerous for us old tripsters...

I like these shots... surely you must have a tripod collar on a lens to pull that off, right?

no it was free hand, you can see that esp in the first shot

the first 2 seconds determing the overall position (hence why the platform is leveled), then its however steady i can keep my hands while twisting.

EDIT: its like free drawing a circle with a pencil, the more you concentrate the worse its going to be, you have to be quick and steady, one fast motion will usualy yield the most uniformity.

I didn't get the 'grab the first cart' bit. Typo or language barrier?

Very interesting shots. I have tried similar with not as good of an effect. Sound slike I may not have exposed long enough! Thanks for sharing the process. JIMBO

if you're really lucky, like i was in this shot ( i was drunk too, the sudden side movement almost send me tumbling) you can get away with some really neato shots

I was starting to flashback with the tunnel shot... but I am in full on melting mode with this one... I Love the motion...

Orange sunshine burning holes in the sand

Carriage. A cart is what you use in a supermarket but in England it's called a trolley.
