I was coming back from my leaving dinner with my then colleagues. I had a nice evening full of fun and laughter.
I bought my camera with me so I thought could use the journey back home to try taking some moving shots whilst on the tube. The above photo was a complete accident, I saw this person walking in a haste and I forgot I set my camera to a slower shutter speed of 1/30 seconds, I thought it was set to something faster, however, the result turned out nicer than I imagined. I like that the motion/haste of the subject is captured in this.
Here I was trying to do a technique I saw Alan Schaller try where he tracked a moving subject in a train using a slower shutter speed. I managed to freeze the subject whilst getting the motion blur of the background. I do need to work on anticipation the tube coming in a bit more and looking out for interesting subjects.

- Body: Sony A6000
- Lens: Viltrox 25mm f/1.7
