That, Gerald, depends very much on the time of the day: the picture would as far as this goes look quite different during the rush hours! (My camera's time, BTW, is always set on GMT/UTC to avoid the need for changing it when travelling to/through different time zones; therefore, the picture was taken at a few minutes before 1 p.m. local time, not really a rush hour in NYC.) Thanks for commenting! db.
Thanks a lot, Michael and Alan, for your kind remarks. In my photography, I usually try to show *empty spaces* (prepared to often wait quite a while until everyone has left my frame), with "no living creatures of any kind" in them. But in places like Grand Central this is simply not feasible. Therefore, the slow shutter speed that produces the motion blur symbolizing the continuous flow of humans through the terminal's Main Concourse, allowed me at the same time toat leastsort of "anonymize" most of the people in the picture. db.
Nice! I've seen a lot of old photos from the early 1900's where they had no choice but to show movement in these places because the lighting and lenses didn't allow for fast shutter speeds. Well done.
