I was drawn to the lines and light in this and was particularly enjoying the challenge of using my 40mm prime lens, which meant that I had to move to get the composition I wanted. The little ‘pancake’ lens is perfect for street and city photography as it makes my camera much more unobtrusive and easier to carry with me.
It wasn’t until I saw this that I realized that the two main figures in this appeared to be going in two different directions. They are both with me and presumably want to be going the same way together. The obvious one is Steven, but the purposeful stride belongs to my good friend Janet, who really does know where she is going in this station! We have some great memories of our fun trip to Toronto, good to revisit today when we are buried in a blizzard..
Thank you, +Lauri Novak​​
Wonderful shot.
looks like he may have been asking permission to get on the train
It does, doesn’t it, Linda? And it was the wrong train! So good thing he didn’t just get on it. 😀
Thanks a lot +Cheryl Cooper
I love the lines too!
I caught him before he stepped on the train +Karen Cooper (+SilverTree Jewellery Design ) happily, as he wasn't supposed to be on it at all! My friend Janet was obviously going in the direction we were to take. I'm glad it fired your imagination! Feel free to let it take you where you want in any of my images. 😀
A shot that really tells a story – or invites you to use your immagination. Steven does look a little confused and like he's just about to step on that train – if he did I hope he was supposed too :o) I thought the snow was heading your way. Keep warm and safe x
Really good,I like it
That is a lovely picture!
Thanks a lot Irwin!
All your sides are your good sides, +Janet Patterson​
I guess I hadn't shown this to you. It was taken on one fun day among many.
Great candid shot +Ellie Kennard. I had no idea you took this. Got my best side too.
Thanks very much, +Alex Lapidus​
Great shot!
Thanks a lot +Lynn David Newton​ . The terminology doesn't matter, I get what you mean and I think you have it right, anyway. No, I think he had just bought himself some clothes.
Thank you very much, +Lisa Van Dyke​. There were a lot of elements that I liked in this, I'm glad you did too.
Wonderful image +Ellie Kennard – I love all the different textures too! Very well done.
Yes, the train, tile, and ceiling provide perspective and a vanishing point. (I won't pretend I know proper art terminology.) Is that a portfolio Steve is carrying?
Thanks Sumit!
Lovely!
I did +Roque López!!! Now you mention it. But being a country mouse I hadn't even known what it meant. My city mouse friend Janet told me but it might be that I was being a bit rebellious! I'm glad you liked it. Thanks.
Liked it a lot. But you stepped into the yellow zone +Ellie Kennard​!
Thanks a lot +Annie Irving – I have you listed in both relevant themes, glad you like it. 😀
Steven looks a little surprised – you caught him well, Ellie. And I love your composition here.
My oldest friend, +Janet Patterson (I use the term 'oldest' only in the sense of her being one of my childhood friends.):D +Elizabeth Lund
I guess I do not recognize her from the back 😛
Thanks a lot +Elizabeth Lund – yes, you sure do. And you know the person walking away, too! But not as well. 😀
+Eliezer Hernández thank you, I appreciate the comment.
+Jasbir S. Randhawa ha ha! Yes, he was pretty surprised, I think he was not sure where I had got to!
+Ellie Kennard Wonderful image, Ellie! +Steven Kennard sure looks startled! :-)))
Very good composition! I like it.
Great capture and don't I know that man standing there?!?!?!?!
😛
