Time and motion on the Elizabeth Line

I’ve wanted to take some photos of the new Elizabeth Line stations since they opened and an opportunity presented itself recently. I’d spent some time in London doing some pinhole photography (I’ll share those photos in due course) and on my way back to Liverpool Street Station I had some time to spare for a spot of digital photography.

We were heading into the rush hour, although the station wasn’t too busy yet, so I decided to use the commuters to create some movement in my photos. Thanks to the miracle of an image stabilised camera I was able to hand hold it for just long enough to capture a sense of motion through their blurred movements.

I like the results, but I’m sure there’s scope to do something even better - I just need some more time to hang around and play without the pressure of rushing off to catch a train myself!
