This series of photos is taken at the same place where I did this. What make this series different is that I stood at the other side of the stairs to face the setting sun and expose for the highlights. To see the photos in colour, click open them.
(This photo is defocused but gives a taint of sweetness to the image with the couples leaving the subway)
(The difficult thing about this series is not the technical part. The position I stood was quite windy and below the top of the staircase. So I had to check out ladies wearing skirts... so that I could aviod any upskirt shots. I didn't hope to get caught by the police. I like both photos, especially the one with the golden outlines)
(Another thing is that I had to stand really close to the side. It was a time people going home. And the exit of the subway was so narrow that I was very much standing in the way of people going past. I like the one with the daddy holding his son. Sweet!)
(These two young men gave the same posture when leaving the subway. They were hanging their head. Were they having specific worries? Or were those just the blues out of the uncertainties of life facing the young men in this economic doldrums? I wish them all the best)
(Goodness knows for how long I had stood there. It could be some 20 minutes I guess. The photos cannot really tell the awesome colours of the scene. I became more engrossed in admiring the scene through the LCD than taking pictures by this time)
(I have tried other locations but this is the best one. I should probably go back for another series)
