      Thanks. I stood at the end of a CTA train car at the back door at O'Hare and held the lens at the glass of the door and clicked once the train was moving. Very happy with the result.

      very nice effect

    11. Andybajonski (47 months ago | reply)

      Thanks, zoomdaddy. The motion effect came out well because of the length of exposure while the train was pulling away

      I actually stood at the back door of the car and pressed the lens against the glass to steady the camera at a slow exposure. It worked :-)

      I had the shot in mind and just tried variations by getting off at the next stop, returning to O'Hare and trying again until I got the one I liked

      Thank you sez

      I got a lot of practice ;-) I got the idea while I was at O'Hare Airport photographing the station and the CTA Blue Line train which serves the airport. As I sat at the back of a car for a few minutes waiting for the scheduled departure I looked out the back window of the last car and got the idea. I had to try several times before I got what I wanted. Although it wasted a lot of time for a couple of seconds acceleration it was worth it.

      I'm glad you like it.

      superbly taken. Could u mail me a tip how to create this sort of effect? Is it done while taking the capture, or afterwards with photoshop?

      Love the symmetry a lot!

    50. Andybajonski (46 months ago | reply)

      Thank you,
      TOMME.
      The effect is all in the capture. The key is to experiment by taking the shot as the train begins to accellerate using a slow shutter speed and then checking the effect. It's easier to do it in digital because you can see what's wrong immediately, get off a few minutes later at the next stop and return to try a variation on the next train. You can use those several minutes to reconsider and decide on your next exposure choices. Plus you can bracket exposures to see the effect of your changes.

      The thing that makes it easier is that once you've settled on how wide a lens setting you want everything about your composition is fixed and repeatable.
