Convergence

Posted by Damon Schreiber (Toronto, Canada) on 14 November 2006 in Transportation and Portfolio.

This is the last of this series. By the way, I didn't think of this as a transportation series, per se. Can you guess what it was?

And for the curious, taking this shot wasn't nearly as dangerous as it looks.

did you desaturated everything but the yellow line? it is so powerful it makes everything else look muted. a pity it leads to nothing interesting at the end.

@Kelvin Chan: Actually, it leads to the subway which was at the moment very interesting to all these people who were late for work or school.

I was on the 'community' page and this yellow line drew me in to look more closely. See - Kelvin - there IS something interesting at the end of the yellow line: This picture ;)
Nicely shot - and glad to hear you didn't have to get into harms way to capture it!

@ajk: Also, me. I'm at the end of the yellow line. But photographers are never as interesting as their subjects :-)

One other thing - the theme?: yellow???

It IS a nice shot and i'm also taking a stab at the 'yellow' answer. It also gives the impression youre standing in mid air a few feet over that yellow line. Dont tell me it was your outstrectched arm, as I'd like to imagine you actually doing this.

@Duncan Galbraith: Okay, would you believe a fishing pole with the camera duct-taped to the end, and a helium baloon for balance?
And yes, to those of you who said yellow, but more specifically yellow lines.

Craig Persel from Montreal, Canada

Well done.

Wow that yellow safety line is close to the tracks. More room for error here in Japan. Nice photo
