Great black and white study -- It reminds me of a painting of people appearing and disappearing between the columns (sort of spooky), but I can't think of the artist's name.

Very cool with just the hint of the person.
December 24th, 2013  
Viewed it large, absolutely stunning.
December 24th, 2013

Awesome shot! And a Merry Christmas to you too.

I'm always amazed that you get these subway shots so deserted looking. I always imagined them bustling with people...all the time. To much TV!!
December 24th, 2013  
Wishing you a joyous and peaceful holiday.
December 25th, 2013  
Happy holiday to you too! This is another great subway shot -- you are the master of these!!

Awesome composition, Northy! Merry Christmas!

Awesome shot!! Merry Christmas!!
December 25th, 2013  
Love all the lines and high key, then that solitary figure justs makes it. Merry Christmas to you :)
December 25th, 2013  
Great shot- I like that because of the perspective and distance the person looks like they're floating.
December 25th, 2013  
Such great lines. Love your composition.
Merry Christmas to you & yours. :)
December 25th, 2013  
Nicely put together and composition! Have a Merry Christmas and happy shooting!
December 25th, 2013  
Love this too! I know I'm a Johnny Come Lately to your project, but it is brilliant. Fav again.
December 25th, 2013

Awesome. I shall forever after look over my shoulder for you when I take a train.

Your images with your NEX are wonderful. This one is no exception. Do you find you have mostly put aside your DSLR?
December 28th, 2013  
@frankhymus tx Frank... to answer your question - no, i have not put the canon aside at all! i see both cameras (and the lenses i currently have for them) as having their uses in different situations...

nex - small, easy to toss in my bag and take everywhere... lots of megapixels means (i think) slightly better quality when playing with high ISO... i have a 17-200mm lens so lots of reach = great flexibility on the go... plus this camera has the "zillions of frames per second" functionality that is great for sports and certain set up shots (burning lightbulb and bursting balloon for example)...

canon - i have a few high quality lenses, an external flash and a remote so this camera tends to be my choice for set up shots at home, or planned photo outings... i also, at this point, still know the canon better than the nex, altho' i am working on gaining more confidence with the nex... also, and this may be just wishful thinking, but i suspect that the canon has a better chance of standing up to a bit of rain and snow than the sony...

Love this one too! Great composition with that glimpse of someone. Nice treatment too, with that subtle blue coming through. :-)
December 29th, 2013  
Cool.
December 30th, 2013  
Awesome and beautiful in b&w fav
December 30th, 2013  
surprised it's so empty on Christmas eve...thought it should be teeming with people trying to get their shopping done!
December 30th, 2013  
@lynnb not at this time it seems :) it was still quite early in the morning... but just after the morning rush...
December 30th, 2013  
Love your dark and dingy shots, this one is awesome too.
I have been somewhat slack of late with commenting so just catching up now.
