Beijing exodus
The big red zeros sum indicate the number of tickets available for various destinations. That’s an indication of how frantic the Beijing West train station was on the Saturday before Chinese New Year.
A colleague organizes a photo club that has monthly outings to random locations in the city. This month’s outing was to the train station to capture the exodus from Beijing.
My assignment was “patience” and “motion.” I enjoyed trying to capture motion through slow shutter speeds, but I had a little more difficulty figuring out how to capture patience.

Thanks for sharing these pics – you capture China so well and make me wish I had been a better photographer when I was there. On the technical side, how do you get those photos with the fabulous movement on the background, but the great focus in the foreground?
