Great capture.<BR/><BR/>To respond to your question about setting to capture a still and moving object together, I set my point-and-shoot to regular portrait mode (i.e. 100 speed on old film camera). Basically, I took the photo as the train begins to speed off the platform while the guy was stationary. Just make sure there is a lot of light in the station.<BR/><BR/>That said, according to <A HREF="http://peter-pho2.blogspot.com/search/label/subway" REL="nofollow">Peter of Peter's Paris</A>, you cannot take photos of the Paris subway. You can sneak a shot or two but be aware that the police will politely ask you to NOT photograph the subway stations.Ming the Mercilesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09957918533010735599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255670630427934848.post-64122177800613773622008-07-15T09:25:00.001-05:002008-07-15T09:25:00.001-05:00ce vieil escalier pourrait raconter plein d'histoi...ce vieil escalier pourrait raconter plein d'histoire. j'aime beaucoup le baseball, mais surtout en mode résumè, c'est un peu long ;o)<BR/><I>this old staircase could tell a lot of history.

The vintage signs really add to the atmosphere. There's even a sign that says, "No betting in this park."Virginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01152464973355194995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255670630427934848.post-2209031755878541322008-07-15T08:01:00.000-05:002008-07-15T08:01:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Virginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01152464973355194995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255670630427934848.post-57949743472327343812008-07-15T07:09:00.000-05:002008-07-15T07:09:00.000-05:00Lovely shot; it's as if you could smell the old wo...Lovely shot; it's as if you could smell the old wooden floor just by looking at it.<BR/><BR/>What's the 'Burma-...' sign in the background?Jérômehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04736542392100780231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255670630427934848.post-77740626249090530952008-07-15T06:55:00.000-05:002008-07-15T06:55:00.000-05:00I love it.
