While visiting NYC I had to explore the subway. This underground world fascinates me everytime I visit. I could spend a weekend down there taking pictures. I love to try and catch the trains in motion as they fly by.

Hi Jonathan, Like the strong diagonal lines and streaks of color. both suggest motion. Good composition.

Railfans call this either a "streak shot" or a "blur shot." Good job of holding the camera steady here. I'm assuming you couldn't use a tripod. When I go to Chicago twice a year I usually spend an entire day riding the subways and Loop trains. For me, they are exotic. I sometimes use my old Bessa 6x9 with ISO 3200 b&w film. I especially like the subway buskers.

Cool streak to nowhere with the lights.
