Shot done as I was traveling back from China, in transit in Zurich Airport, between the 2 terminal.
I was dreaming of an opportunity since a long time, but it was always crowded.
Until this day where the doors open only for me!
Quick estimation of the appropriate exifs, improvising a tripod with my jacket on the windows, and it was done after 2 sec exposure...

Behind The Lens

Location

In Zurich Airport during a transfer between 2 terminal

Time

It was after the landing of a long flight back from China. So I was tired and in jet lag and I didn't really check the time. But I think it was round about 10:00 am But in a tunnel, the day light is not a big deal!

Lighting

I didn't had so many time to think about the setting. (as explained earlier, I was quite tired) I made all with instinct. And it worked!

Equipment

Canon 60D + EF17-40f4L No tripod, only the bordure of the window...

Inspiration

I am travelling often in this airport. And I really enjoy playing with the motion blur. So this underground was inspiring me since a long time. But either I didn't had my dslr with me, or the train was so full that I couldn't acces to the right place. Untill this morning where I was with my cam and the first in a train almost empty.

Editing

Quick processing with LR to develop the RAW file (contrast, clarity, luminosity...)

In my camera bag

6D + 1 prime Lens (50f1,4) (optional + 1 wild angle + 1 strobe and trigger)

Feedback

Allway keeping the eyes open looking for locations where a motion could be photographed. And always taking cam with you (even if you don't even take any picture) because the worst is to see something which could be a great composition, but not beeing able to get it
