Description
A long exposure photograph taken while standing on a moving escalator at Dallas-Fort Worth airport. Actually, it took me about six tries to get something usable...I kept going back up and down the escalators like some kind of wierdo

I really understand you. I'm nomally looking down onto people as they look at me weird for taking pictures in a downward fasion. Down stairs, down escalators, and then there are the pictures of my feet.....

you should just walk backward on the stairs
somehow i feel like inside the bottle - escalator for the pixies

green is one of my favorite huesβ¦
β¦and combined with the layout of this capture, how the eye is drawn upwards along a constricted passageway
makes for an interesting compositionβ¦
β¦definitely worth a few trips up and down the escalator

I, personally, love the blur. It is very appropriate for something entitled " e-motion" to actually have a sense of motion.
What you've done with the colors is very nice and what really makes this shot stand out is your choice of framing. It really sets it apart from all the other similar shots.

the color and overall effect are great. Be careful about acting wierd in airports or you'll end up getting strip searched.

That is excellent advice

and the colors do the rest

Looks like you're going to heaven or something... The bright light on the end of the tunnel!
Really great!

Awesome. It reminds me of the train station in Amelie. It always had a sort of greenish tint to it. So pretty <3

Picture makes impression. Beautiful colours, interesting lighting, best composition. All is OK

wow - lovely image. i think i would have preffered the image to be framed centrally, as it is somewhat symmetrical...

and i think wed all do silly little things to get shots like this - and other good ones too, of course. just keep going

The birth of a photo.
First of all, I cann't imaging how hard it is to get such a photo. Maybe I need to try someday.
Long exposure on moving tracks, that seems impossible, but you managed to get it right. The best part it how it all blends into darkness on the way down (although the stairs go up).
Then there is a perspective towards light which gives it a positive feeling. *Impressed*

Well, the difficulty mostly comes first in setting the shutter speed to give you a decent blur, but not too much to make it indistinguishable, and then setting the apeture accordingly. Then you have to time the shot and get the angle right after stepping onto the escalator, and then keep your hands relatively steady so the blur doesn't get out of control.
But it is fun to try

Thanks for the detailed description.

Really a nice shot!
I love the green color u used for it, it adds a futuristic look to it. Reminds me somehow on a Science-Fiction movie. Would be interested to know more about how you work on a shot like this to get the result so clearly without the effect of grains or pixels. Think it was shot with a digital SLR-Camera.
Great work!

Yes, shot digital. To get good results with a digicam, I almost never set the ISO higher than 100, even in low light (at least until I get a better cam that can handle higher ISO without noise). Other things that help a shot like this are level and contrast adjustments, and to reduce grain a slight amount of selective blurring in Photoshop, though not always easy to do, can work wonders.
Thanks for the comment, happy to hear you like the shot

You can always tell a true photographer by the lengths they are willing to go to (or the fools they are willing to make of themselves) to get the shot...and you are definitely one of those.

It's ok to look foolish in life as long as you look good because of a photo
Or something like that.
Anyway, thank you for the comment

Excellent pic. Good job on the exposure, yes it's kinda blurry at the top but it gives it the idea of e-motion
Nice job.

Really nice green and the whole photograph is nicely presented. Just a very little blurry on the top.
Hope you don't mind me putting finger on it but then again, maybe you wanted it this way
Anyway, I like this very much

You can go ahead and point out anything you don't like, I can take it
Yes, though, in this case the blur was kind of the point. (Otherwise I would've just taken the shot standing still 
Thanks as always for the input my friend.

wonderful shot, i see it was difficult but worth it. I would have loved to see you going up and down, i would have taken one of you doing it. That cracked me up art, your description!!!

love the greenish hue.

The funniest thing is to block people to take a photo, i did it on a moving sideway
Now on the photo itself, like everyone i like the hues, and think pretty much everything good about was said i'll tell you its flaws
It is slightly tilted, that doesn't bother me, but i know from experience some dislike that; and also it lacks of focus, there's nowhere where the eye can see some sharp detail, except maybe on the lower left on the ramp.
But don't get me wrong, i like that photo
