I'm just starting to get my photos from my trip to London sorted out. I did a lot of experimenting with long exposures and/or multiple exposures (some in-camera and some in Photoshop), both with and without HDR processes. I'm trying to work time into my photographs rather than capture a "decisive moment" like HCB.
This first shot was one that I planned for and which turned out even better than I'd hoped. I set up in a tube station with the intention of combining multiple show-shutter-speed shots of the people on the platform with a train coming into the station. Lacking a tripod, I braced the camera on something solid (I forget exactly what), zone focused and waited for people to walk in front of the camera and for a train to arrive. Unusually and unfortunately there were few people coming through the station at that time but I did get two shots that I thought would work well together. I combined both images in Photoshop, converted to B&W (which took a lot of fiddling with the color sliders to get looking "just right") and added some noise.
