The Railway Station - Number 10

The Railway Station - Number 10
The preceding nine photographs in this series aren't all as horribly blurred as this one. In fact, one of them is quite sharp.

This is the result of using too slow a shutter speed. It's not entirely motion blur because there wasn't an earth tremor at that moment. I ought to have used a camera capable of higher ISO, or a fast lens, or both. But I didn't have those options so I used a Nikon D50 with a Nikkor 28-80mm f/3.3-5.6 AF G lens whilst waiting to meet the 16.23 at Westbury station.

Claude Monet noticed that slow shutter speed blurred moving figures and was inspired deliberately to smudge his painting to achieve this blurry effect. Bravo M. Monet! And Bravo The Limbo Connection!

Steve Bucknell has particularly liked this photo

I really like that effect, but it doesn't strike me as Impressionist...The first thing that occured to me was the cinematic depictions of flash-back, drug induced visualisations. Midnight Cowboy? Easy Rider? That kind of film, that kind of era.

You're probably right. Your grasp of modern culture and your arts and literature scholarship when shared have often improved my knowledge. Not 'Bravo The Limbo Connection!' then. Alas! Poor Limbo.
