This shot was taken on the same journey as this one but I didn't put it up at the time as I thought it was probably a little too similar. As for why I'm posting something that was taken over a month ago: I did hope to get out today, but we've been having our central-heating boiler replaced over the last couple of days and, what with one thing and another, I've not really managed to get out of the house. Hopefully the weather will be ok tomorrow and I'll be able to get some decent shots (which would be good, as I have very few even half-decent shots in reserve ;-) ).

your description's ending needs a fix, i think, unless ;-) is a legitimate replacement for a period and a parenthesis. ;-) what a picky crowd you've got reading every word on your website. ;-) i love chromasia.

I really, really like this picture. The colours and the sensation of movement are so great. And it looks like a double exposure.

You were also in a train or waiting at the station?
Great shot as always...
comment bydjn1 at 11:42 PM (GMT) on 25 February, 2005
Jorge: I was on the train.
comment byBeth at 11:44 PM (GMT) on 25 February, 2005
First class? :) Very smooth, cool shot!
comment byquasi at 11:49 PM (GMT) on 25 February, 2005
I'm really liking the bright blue band across the top. Sorry I don't have anything more constructive to say, but...great shot! :)

Was this shot on 'protect the testicles' day? What's with those hands!!!
comment bypixelwacko at 12:56 AM (GMT) on 26 February, 2005
I love the ambiguity! At first glance, you really can't tell if it was shot inside our outside the train.
comment byTed Morrow at 01:35 AM (GMT) on 26 February, 2005
The motion in this shot is of course great, but I think the colours are even more interesting. The blue is intriguing - I can't quite work out where it comes from.

i do prefer the other , but the colors are great on this one

Dave-
I have been a long-time lurker at your photoblog, and I've really come to admire your work. I am a student, not any type of real photographer, so I don't really have any idea what I'm talking about, but I absolutely love the bright color that seems to be your trademark-- so saturated and ethereal, as well as the crisp clarity of it. Anyway, I'd just thought I'd finally leave a comment.

Breathtakingly fantastic, as was the train one before. And many many other photos before and after.
I remember the old days, when one had to go to a bookstore or library to find uplifting and inspiring photo books to look at. We are so damned lucky to have the internet, with the glimpses it gives of the beauty in the world - and of the beautiful people in it.

It strikes me that your fondness for the reflected image makes of your photos a sort of meta-discourse on the relationship between the nature of seeing and the way that the camera mediates the actual image that our eye sees; how crushingly honest and inescapably deceptive the lens can be, when the images seem so clear; how like life the blur, the motion, the multiple. I apologize. I've yet to flesh this out.

It does look like a double exposure! Intresting colours, and maybe im not seeing it..but how exactly did you get that shot?
comment bypeter at 06:50 AM (GMT) on 26 February, 2005
Vivid colours and a great sense of movement. Good shot!
comment byValoth at 07:20 AM (GMT) on 26 February, 2005
Did you click this picture against the glass window ? Looks so fast..:)
comment bydjn1 at 03:12 PM (GMT) on 26 February, 2005
Ted: I can't quite work out the blue either. What I can remember is that this a reflection in the train window (where I'm a passenger rather than outside the train), but other than that I can't offer much more by way of explanation.
comment byPeace at 03:54 PM (GMT) on 26 February, 2005
your pictures are always awesome!
comment by peter cohen at 08:37 PM (GMT) on 26 February, 2005
Are you making any photographs of the boiler replacing?
comment bydjn1 at 08:53 PM (GMT) on 26 February, 2005
Thanks everyone.
Peter: no, I didn't take any, but I did spend all morning fixing a leak :-/
comment by joe at 05:52 AM (GMT) on 28 February, 2005
ah, a train shot... will tomorrow's picture be of a beach? or maybe... a train?
comment bydjn1 at 10:04 AM (GMT) on 28 February, 2005
joe: "tomorrow's" shot was already up when you posted this, as was the next one, and both are clearly neither a train nor a beach. Tell you what, how about I have an agoraphobic train-hater's day once a month, would that help? ;-)
