Nice! I like how you got the speed blur on the train and nowhere else. Clever selection of shutter speed, I suspect. As an aside, like many others, I suspect, who have never been to Chicago, I can never see pictures of the 'L' without thinking of The Blues Brothers. Sorry 'bout that.

Love the S-Seat as well.

TFS both.

Patrick would have a lot to say about No 2 Hayward. Great shots.

Hayward, I am so please pleased to RSVP, your images are A1, you make capturing the L and S as easy as ABC. TFS


With a title like Alphabet -ized I just couldn't resist

Okay, you made me laugh! I looked at the picture of the L, which is great by the way, love the blur, and thought to myself that the Blues Mobile needed to be under there!

Fantastic job on capturing that train ( you beat me to it ) and caught the motion perfectly .

The S-Bench is great too !!

TFS,

I really like the second shot, the sweeping curve really draws you in. The repeating lines in the seat draw attention too that curve too. However the bench is not the only reptition, it is all over. The walls, the fence, the windows. Very well done. Overall a great shot, thanks for sharing both of them
