Location: Changi-Singapore

 During transit otw back home at Changi airport I was waiting for boarding, nothing to do but watching people traveled around. It just came across in my mind can I make half parts of the hustles disappear while the rest are still visible, the idea aroused me more and more coz I thought it will be our real and spiritual world tapestry in a single frame, then I took several shots with different shutter speeds, didn't have so much time to think till the call for boarding.
At home checked on DPC challenges browsed Ben's portfolio I simply see most of his are bw, blurry moving and still humans object. Seem to me he wants to communicate what he sees and experiences about in his own way.
I just hope Ben likes this image...just see.

Wooow...what a surprised I got Sterling Sturgeon and 4 fav (one is a special one from Ben), also nailed plenty of comments. I personally thank you to dpc'ers who gave comments and critique, your valuable time is highly appreciated.

To bvy, I used a trolley as tripod.

Such unrelenting energy, anonymity in blur and faceless queens.

I thank you with a Sterling Sturgeon

Quirky! I'm having an interesting time figuring out what parts are reflections. Is that how you managed to get a partial figure? There is something about the two signs on the upper right that I find very appealing

ghostly, and the man does like his feet. a different shot, which is quite an achievement in a challenge like this.

This goes into my fantasy sturgeon cellar

The hustle and wait of air travelers. Nice hints of both..

There is so much meat on this bone. The eye can wander around and find stuff of interest....for days. Excellent!!

lovely combination of things going on.. lots to look at - almost as if its a tapestry of life woven neatly together.

Love this shot. The blur of the people to the point of being phantom like is awesome. Bumping up in my top three.

I love this image. A great mix of focus and blur that Ben does well. Wonderful composition. One critique of this is that I find the contrast a bit harsh for this challenge. Nonetheless, a wonderful image and one on my favourites in the challenge.

Love how his upper body has totally disappeared. A remarkable image, which however, does not look Bennish to me.

A 10 for the quality of the image - perhaps jdannels. Marvellous stuff.

This is the cleanest, crispest, brightest blur I've ever seen.

A very cool shot, cool in the sense of cold also. Perhaps too studied for being Ben's style.

Lovely long exposure capturing the madness that is an airport (I'm guessing).

I really like this. I have to study it and each time, I find something new. 7

Awesome shot. I really like the contrasts, the perspective and the ghosts. The (discret) rhythm is strong and makes clean an almost overloaded picture.

Well, I dunno what to say. I just keep looking!

I did something very similar at an airport last year. Table as tripod? I do like how your subject is isolated against the busy goings-on.

Great B/W conversion, and some good blur :)
