When I arrived at the Bonaventure station, I noticed the movement of the transit users: there was a lot of activity since it was the end of the day.<\/p>\n<p>I had in mind one of the themes of the photo club: slow shutter speed. Obviously, since it was a working day, I did not have a tripod (especially mine that is quite heavy). I looked for a way to set up to make my picture. I had a fixed lens of 28mm f\/1.8 and at its widest aperture, I did not have a slow enough speed to show movement in the image (which would have allowed me to do the photo with the camera handheld). I finally opted for a garbage bin located in the middle of the corridor to rest the camera. At f\/4, I was getting a rather slow speed (2 seconds) to show just enough movement in the photo while retaining human shapes. Sometimes it is not enough to be creative with your image: the positioning can also be! This is what I the MacGyver approach\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Since that time, I got rid of this fixed lens. Since I have an APS-C, I thought it would be interesting to have a fixed lens lighter and less voluminous. I found this one, used, manufactured by Canon. Unfortunately, I found it not to be sharp enough for my taste if I compare it to the other lenses I own. It is still very popular since I sold it in 2 hours&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In August, I was walking through the streets of Montreal, underground tunnels of buildings and the subway while taking pictures.
