Simplon

"My" metro station is closed for renovation. So I had to use the dark and dirty Simplon station, which has not been reconstructed yet...

I wanted to use my tripod and my wide-angle lens, but I forgot the lens adapter and the tripod at home. Stupid me. So I gave it a try without them, and I did my best to stay stiff and motionless for two long seconds of aperture time I wanted motion blurs for the train and the passengers, not for the name of the station !
But I like it, anyway. I like the ad, too, with the woman who seems to look at the metro passing by...

Just after this shot, some policemen-like people with big muscles and big guns came to talk to me. They said it was absolutely forbidden to shoot pictures in the metro, and they told me to write to RATP (the Parisian metro company) to get an authorization. I will write, for sure. I won't survive a long winter without shooting in the warmth of our good old French Metropolitain

Hope you will enjoy this one
