Shot handheld using multiple exposures at 1/3 second. This meant I could keep shooting for aaaages! Had so many pix to choose from, and then the crop! Ended up with this. YES, the lights are blown, but the purpose is to show electricity at work, so is it clear enough now?
10 mm on my EF-S 10-22.

Think I should do OK this time, if I am not blown away, just as the lights in the photo are ...

Thank you for all the nice comments! 15 out of 121 works for me, this is actually a personal high for me. The shot was not planned ahead, had been thinking for a while, but when going on this MTR subway in Hong Kong I thought that here I had both transportation as well as illumination - both of which are greatly influenced by electricity!
Btw, I am all new to SLRs, so I only had my new 400D for 1 day when I took this shot. Haven't read much in the manual yet, it is all very intuitive for me, coming from an S2 IS ...

Should used a higher speed and film. Subject matter is uninterested.
I am not sure I quite understand.
This is from the electricity challenge. Show electricity at work. So I do. The intentional motion blur is to show motion in an otherwise still photograph. Electricity is - amongst other things - giving us transportation and illumination, which is what I illustrate in this shot.
You write that the subject matter (the train?) is uninterested? How can a train be interested in anything?
I don't get it, but then, I am not the fastest animal in this forest, and English is not my mother tongue!
Whooohoo! Congrats on a top shelf shot with that new camera and sweet lens - and above all, a personal best! The movement here is great. Amazing that it was handheld. Way to go, K.
Thanks, Amy, I hope this is a new trend for me :-) It definately helps with some more toys to play with, I just looove my 50 and 10-22 mm lenses ...

The movement is just great here. It's funy because when I was looking for examples of leading lines I saw an image very similar to this. This si a great use of shutter speeed and a great example of eletricity.
