commuting in style

i'm feeling like i am merely imitating myself these days... feel free to ignore... carry on!

(yer basic subway shot... too much noise... cropped majorly... processed from RAW in LR5 and converted to black and white in nik silver efex using high contrast preset, red filter and blue toner)

[Jeff Walker]

what really catches my eye (after I looked away from the lady in shades coming toward you on the left) is the reflection of the person in the 2nd window. For that alone I have to fave this

[Caroline]

It is still a very cool shot even if you feel you have done it before. I love your work.

[Britt Nhi Sarah]

seriously amazing shot. You captured the movement frozen and crisp. fav for me.

[Vee]

Nice! Love the converging effect on the train!

[Sue]

black and white is good here...I like the reflections in the windows...this gives a good "city life" feel.

[Cathrine Mitchell]

I love your subway shots especially the interaction.

[Mac]

I still like it, so there. There's so much to see, so many lines to lead you throughout.

[Raye]

I like seeing the people in the sub on this one! I am still drawn into the feel of it plus the detail and b&w.

[Krista]

Love this! I'm particularly fond of the movement you've captured! Amazing

[❀ Lynn]

I like these...reminds me of my hometown...sometimes I miss it.

[Kerri]

Great pov

[Edie]

Fantastic pov. Love it.

[Taffy]

Still love these shots! And I can't take anything like this til we move back to the city so I'll just enjoy looking at yours.

Tell me... how is LR5? Is it worth the upgrade? Did you have any problem with the NIK plugins?

[Jani M]

The reflections are interesting, especially that one lady... I feel like the "reality" on the left side is a bit distracting from the reflections, maybe a crop there (with a bit of croppety-crop from bottom too to keep the image proportions in check) ?

You could do the shot for the contest using train window reflections only ? People can't be recognized, you'd get the train in the shot (the trains are red&white ?) and you can easily avoid being fluffy :)

[Rik]

I really like this. I love the lines and there is so much interest. I think just because you choose the same subject doesn't meant its the same photograph.

[Penny Price]

Nice subway shot. I must try this next time I'm in London.

[Andrew S]

I don't find anything here distracting at all, i think it is a great image. Also interested to hear about what you think about the upgrade to LR5 and potential problems with Nik....

[Rachel Withey]

I really like this particularly the blue tone to it.

[Corrie]

Stunning capture!

[Jocasta]

It's such a brilliant platform - looks as good busy as it did deserted

[Frida]

Oh go on Northy, just cut all the 'real' people out and giz the train only; and do not doubt that it is fab!

[Humphrey Hippo]

The window reflections are interesting. :)

[Michelle]

The contrasts are so dramatic. x

[☠northy]

@amyspada i'm not the best person to speak on LR5 upgrade as i really only ever scratched the surface of LR4... but so far no issues, and i LURVE the upright feature... i only ever use PSE to get to the nik plugins (i tried once in LR4 and got confused about where the edited image was and haven't tried since ;p)

@janim yes - good idea about the reflections... tx :)

[David]

Love the window reflections. Can't have enough of these subway shots!

[Bankmann]

Loving this; both the composition and the processing! ;-) Fav!

[PasadenaRose]

This is cool. So cool that I'm Faving it.
