Another train station picture

Picture of the Washington Metro taken sometime in the ‘80’s

Cleaning out a little more in the basement, and I came across this picture of the Washington, D.C. Metro train.  I don’t remember when I took it but it could have been some time in the late ‘80’s when I was visiting my sister there.

Taken with an Olympus XA, probably on Tri-X with about 1/4 second exposure.  On such occasions I press my body and the back of my hand up against a post or pole and slowly exhale.  When my lungs are empty, I slowly squeeze the shutter.  Using this technique I’ve taken sharp pictures without a tripod up to 1 second in length.

  1. What are you talking about?  The train’s all blurry.  Sharp picture indeed.
