A restaurant scene during the lunch hour. A long exposure shows the motion of these college students as they eat & converse.


This impromptu shot was taken while on a springtime bus tour with a choir I was a member of back in my college days in the mid 1980's. I climbed some stairs overlooking the restaurant's ground floor, where my fellow students were eating lunch, and snapped this long exposure in the dim lighting. It makes for an interesting effect as the soft focus and blurring show movement as people converse and eat. Interestingly enough, some people were relatively still during the exposure and are quite sharply focused.
