    Empty airport train

    I got stuck in the airport for a while last week. Good? Bad? All right?

    Re: Empty airport train

    Well, I really believe that these would be good shots showing a cold, isolate train if they were sharp. I know you didn't have a tripod, but sometimes you either got the shot or didn't and circumstances don't count.

    Anyway, good attempt. Might be even better with a wider angle.

    Re: Empty airport train

    Thanks for looking and the comments. I was definitely wishing for a wide angle when I was taking these. Ill be traveling alot in the next few weeks so maybe Ill get another chance. Any composition advice?

    I agree with GB1. It would be better with sharpness. By the way... I see a little over-light at lights...

    About composition... I'm not sure about right side handhold on second photo. I think it'd be better without this handhold.

    I think you understood... Sorry, my English is not well.

    Re: Empty airport train

    Well, you're limited here on how you can arrange yourself. In this particular shot, I think a 'low' and a 'high' shot might be interesting. That is, shoot one from just above the floor, and shoot another from standing on a chair and the camera is almost touching the ceiling. Might be interesting.

    I have to agree, there are not sharp. Go back with a tripod or faster film (or digital set to higher ISO) or a faster lens.

    Re: Empty airport train

    Although the idea behind the photo and the composition are interesting these are both candidates for the round file as the images are just blurred enough to look bad and not blurred enough to look "arty".
    No, I DON'T need that.
