Swedish Rush Hour

Gallery: POP PhotosPosted December 3, 2015429 views3 comments

Here in Germany we consider the scandinavian people to be more of the quiet kind, but at my first trip to Stockholm / Sweden I have to say that I learned that in the summer time they are quiet active. It was incredible for me how crowdy Stockholm was after business hours. It was nearly impossible to walk through the pedestrian zone and I tought I have to document that on a photo. The best idea I had was to use a long exposure and I made the picture while walking into the crowd ...

This one definitely conveys a sense of motion. I like the abstract look of the crowd.

Cay-Uwe,
You certainly have a penchant for creativity and different approaches to life around us. No doubt the crowd is moving. I can almost hear the sounds.

Cay-Uwe, I like this kind of stuff. Nice (long) moment with a pleasing effect. It really creates a good motion study and nicely titled.
