The Midosuji Line, Osaka. I went through to Osaka on Monday to buy a P.C. and decided to use the time on public transport to try and get some subway shots. I've been inspired by Duncs and Damon and now realize how hard it is to get good shots here! Hats off to you both for making it look so easy!

Speaking of making it look easy... Sterling work here! Can't fault it a bit. Love the way the train's motion is blurred up close but appears still at a distance. Pow!

wow, amazing photo. i don't think i could get that close. great capture.

I love the motion blur, I also like the expression of the station guy, staring at you like don't do it! Great Shot!

This is a winner: love the train motion, the people reflections on the train windows and the vivid detail & sharpness of the people on the pier. Excellent!

Beautiful blur shot. Love the angle . It looks like you were dangerously close to the train.

That DID turn out nice; with the movement of the conductor's jacket you can almost feel the wind rush by.

Elegant composition! Superb job!

This is great, so much to see. Our subway system looks nowhere near as good as this, but you might have just inspired me to give it a go anyway. Nice one.

@Michael: Go on mate! Would love to see the clockwork orange up here!
well done, stu - looks like the guy was none too happy with your camera antics ..stay behind that yellow line!

Fantastic job mate. I've always wanted to take photos around the trains but I'd end up looking like a train otaku so I decided against it. The fact that I look Japanese aswell doesn't really work for me either. But one day I'll get the guts up and give it a go. I do love the contrasting speed shot and the expression on the conductors face is priceless.

Cool stuff Stu - inspiration for me - again... How did you get the selective blurring???

@Bronnie: Hi Bronnie! Actually the train was moving - it was arriving at the station so no effects added. :-)
Professional level work, Stu.

This is awesome. Lines, movement and the conductor. Colors are great too.

@bronzebilly: Wow. Thanks Billy!
Nice job stu and glad to be of inspiration ;). I get mine from all over this site myself, great place aint it. Love the expression. I shot almost exactly the same shot a while back but the conductors face didnt cut the mustard, this one does. fine job.
