Thanks all. I had a few different versions that I shot, but I liked the composition of this one best. I have a shot from lower down that is a bit of a closer shot. In that one the glow in the back is a bit different. The light skims across the back wall a bit more. It would be interesting to have this view with that light, but maybe it would also be a distraction.
Bart: you guys sure had great timing to drop in when you did. It was like you were making a surprise entrance during some sort of TV show. I shot this on both provia and velvia, but I am naturally drawn to the velvia shot. I was not sure what I would get with such a long exposure and that film.
Binh: the rely long exposure was both good and bad in that respect. It was quite busy at subway that day, but I didn\'t have anyone wander into the photo during the exposure. If anyone did, my plan was to welcome them in, but request that they keep moving, and do not stop anywhere. That way, they would not appear in the shot. More than anything, I was concerned about the fact that I would make the other photographers wait for such a long time before I could let them setup to shoot their own shot. I took 4 shots at subway, and would let the waiting photographers know how long it would be. They were all very understanding.
Jim: I was able to find some spots that were not quite as slim. It was definitely an issue though. I took off my boots because they had very poor grip on there. My neoprene socks gripped
quite well though!
