Rush, Grand Central Terminal, New York City, New York, 2009

I use my shutter priority shooting mode here, slowing down the speed of the shutter to 1/25th of a second to extend the motion of these commuters as they pass through the reflected glare coming from the station’s enormous windows. I was able to freeze the left leg of the commuter in the center of the image, while blurring the rest of her. Just as she was planting her sharp heel on the marble floor, another commuter flew past her at a full run, producing an even greater state of blurred motion. The concept tells us that people in a hurry are likely to move at varying speeds – and this image proves it.
