This sort of photo appeals to me. The composition and tonal ranges are good, although I am un-decided with regard the graininess. I would prefer the small object just visible in the mouth of the tunnel to be burned in as this would accenuate the idea of the tunnel as a void.
I like the way the symmetry of the tunnel structure is broken by the angle of the photo. It creates converging lines which draw your eye into the photo. I guess if the lines were longer, you'd get a vanishing point. The range of very dark to very light is appealing to me in B&W. The noise works well in the photo as well.
Awesome composition! I really like the fact that your eyes are led to complete darkness...it really makes you wonder what is back there! The tones are so dramatic too...very well done.
This is a neat picture and really makes the mind work. I thought you were looking up the side of a building or shaft of some sort. I like the contrast of the white spots along the wall.
I, too, love the mystery in this; where does it really lead? Where would you go if you walked there, subway trains aside? You've captured the shadows wonderfully here.
I like the texture and graininess of this, but I think if you saw the rear end of the train leaving (or front arriving) it would add more to the photo.
Are those shadowss of people? Pretty good results a 1/15 handheld but doesn't realy exite me. Is this cropped at all as I'm wondering if a little of the platform would help any?
For some reason I am not skilled enough to take photos like this. I always lean towards wanting sharp pictures. What I like about this is that the toning and softness lends to the eerie mood. The lines and patterns also capture your attention.
B/W photography at its best...Geometry! I guessed 800 ISO before I saw it listed...because of the high grain content. It's a harsh toss-up between...Don't Get the Picture Too Little Light & Get the Picture With Too Much Grain.
I'm guessing, but maybe 200 ISO at 4 seconds on a Bogen tripod (for sturdiness) would reduce the grain. (Low-Light & Night photography are my weakest,...So, this is merely out-loud processing. I hope something here sparks an idea for you.)
Snaps for courage to get great perspective & leading lines! :)
Very VERY COOL, Doc! I am so excited to have a whole year to share and study other people's style and presentation of their artistic side. I love the geometric shapes and the way the lines in this lead you in such an interesting flow -- and I really love how you processed it with an ever-so-slight grain and grunge. It fits perfectly!
I like the concept - it seems a bit grainy in a way that does not serve the image well. I'd like to see the details - handheld? high ISO setting? I would be hard to get a tripod set up on the metro platform most of the time.
