Once or twice a year I make a trip to New York City for a few days, usually taking the train from Boston. I am endlessly fascinated by whatever we are passing on the way, and on my latest trip I decided to try snapping pictures of scenes that interested me as we zipped by.
On a train you are much closer to what's outside the window than on an airplane, so there is very little time to choose a subject, compose, focus, and shoot. I am a pretty slow shooter most of the time, so I thought this might be a useful exercise in learning to make quick visual judgments.
Naturally, most of my shots were either quite blurry or missed the scene altogether. Anyway, here is a sample of the most appealing (least unappealing?) results. The first was on the way to NYC, and the other three were on the return trip four days later.
