About Last Sunday, sitting in the underground (Metro) from Pont de Saint Cloud to Gare d'Austerlitz. Exceptionally it was an old wagon from the Twenties or the Thirties. The extension from Port d'Auteuil to Pont de Saint Cloud did not exist yet during the time this train was in full service. Different classes were common in the Paris underground network. That system lasted until somewhere in the early Nineties.
Ticket prices are now all equal for everybody.
Class differences although will remain for other ways of transportation according to the principle that enough people want to pay more for getting better quality if available.

Technically speaking 1600 ASA, still sharp, but with a high noise level. Challenging the limits of Panasonic's 2006/2007 electronics. Could not go lower than 2.8 and much longer than 1/60th either.
But in capturing unusual contrasts of subjects virtually no limits exist.

Thank you John for visiting and making me all these compliments. Indeed I got a lot of contrasts in one picture. I realized and you noticed that's a big reward I think. But this type of transportation ? Do you not prefer a somewhat more contrasting car ? :-)
all the best,
Paul

Merci beaucoup cher Arif,
a second from daily life for you could be a big part of daily life of others. Millions of commuters taking the underground everyday. And uhh..the lady she is not in the wrong train, but the wrong lady maybe for the right train :-)
all the best my friend,
Paul

Have a nice holiday trip to CA dear Michele, not by taking the train I suppose. If upper or lower class I do not know as the tall guy in some respect is also "upper" compared to the "lower" sitting lady.
I changed the expression as "different" as making part myself of the "diplomatic" class :-) But only just today...
hugs and kisses,
Paul

Nice shot... I like the different ways these two persons watching, also that one seats and the other stands, also that one is a woman and the other man... everything goes to the two different ways and that is a very nice element for a snapshot Paul, excellent.
best regards!

Totally perfect example of 'equal & opposite' my dear Paul - the lady althou sitting in the lower position is obviously the 'upper-class' so SHE thinks ...and the 'man' altho standing above her - appears to be in the 'lower class'
...PEOPLE ARE SOOOOOOOOOOO WIERD huh? Great candid my friend !! I love it -
Hugs, & kisses,
Michele~

Hi Nicki, it was a very short moment I thought to be in a theatre. People do not always realize being good actors as well. The train goes on and new situations appeared and disappeared all the time.
Glad that you liked this one. In fact I like making candids most of all because it comes closest in my need of seizing the moment.
Gros Bisous,
Paul

Thank you very much Luca. Indeed people do not need to smile to make other people smile. Laughing and smiling just as expression of happiness. I adore making candids of people. I really respect how they are and behave with respect to each other. For me it's more recognition than laughing in fact, which makes me happy.
All the best my friend,
Paul

Hi Aziz,
thanks for your comment. In fact the grainy aspect is applied to skin tones in particular which enhances the expressions of people. I think in this way exploiting the technical limit of the CMOS sensor does not harm so much as well it helps to get a certain effect on mood and character.
Best regards,
Paul
