Just Shadows In The Subway, a photo from Clementi, Ouest

Photographer's Note

In one of Singapore's subway stations. Everyone seems to rush around so fast in the subway that you see only fleeting shadows most of the time ...

I find this an art photograph John, the dark silhouette with a little red of colours, against the other silhouette of a well-known mark of mobile telephone, maybe unusual image but very nice.
Regards, John.

John, I like very much yout shot which combines real life with adds surrounding us daily ! And the sentence fits very well with the 2 people going in opposite directions, in a way balancing every side of their own life ...
Shadows on the poster, shadows in the reality !
Congrats
Sylvie

Excellent artistic result you got, John - wonderful how the silhouettes of the "real" people in the foreground echo the advertising poster in the back. Very well seen and made. You could contact Nokia about this one, they might be happy to use it :-)

Terrific shot, John. The advertising poster provides a great background for these silhouettes of real people. The marketing one-liner seems very apt. Nice control of exposure - well done.

Nice shot! the figure of the passer by match the background. Motion blur happen here, try faster shutter speed?

Hey John;

Great shot! We do think alike, I was also thinking of heading down to Dhoby Ghaut MRT station for the travelator- I was going to add it to my theme of Escalators and Travelators. Looks like you beat me to it.
I've been putting it off because I only have a 75-300mm lens at the moment, and would prefer something a little more wide angle for this job.

You framed this shot well with the people against the sign on the advertisement. The wording at top left really finishes the shot off nicely.

Well done mate,
- Dan
