Hi,I am a newbie here,Nice to meet you guys!

This photo was taken on a subway in Singapore with aperture of 2.8 and the shutter speed is 1 sec

Luckily on that day, the lights in the tunnel were on, recently the lights are off for no reason....

That's a great shot Tigerfish... Were you pointing out the back of the train while it was moving for that one?

Very nice indeed. Curious what all you used for the effect.

Well, actually I was at the front of the train. Because the train is fully automated, there is no driver's cabin. There are also windows at the front as well as the back, for people to look out.

Ahh, so you were heading towards it instead of rushing away.

It's a very nice effect either way

It must've been going pretty quick to get such detail in only a second.

Thank you guys!
The camera I used is fujifilm finepix S5000.
What I did was putting the camera against the wall beside the window, to keep it still. Then I just pressed shutter and took the picture.
I have tried different shutter speeds as well as different apertures. But found that 1 sec is the best, because the train kept shaking from side to side, 1 sec is the maximum for the train to keep moving smoothly.
