[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Prague metro (subway) carries around 400 million passengers a year. It is fast, efficient, clean, and easy to use. Its three lines consist of about 50 km of tracks (running mostly underground) and some 50 stations.

Metro and public transportions (trams, busses etc) at the ex communist countries are very well organized and runs well.

At the 4 days we stayed at Prague, we used metro for moving from our hotel to the center of town. The ticket was very low (8 crowns for 4 = 0.27€ or 12 crowns for 1,5 hour = 0.36€!) and the trains was quick and accurate!

This photo is from the moving staircases to the station of Muzeum where we change train going to Malonstanka station (Charles IV Bridge).

A nice, almost symmetrical shot, Μπάμπη. I really like the light here. I think the picture is tilted a bit cw. I also notice some moiré in the automatic stairs. Maybe you downsized in one step only ?
TFS.

μ'αρέσει το "κεντράρισμα" που έχεις κάνει.. σε τραβάει μέσα στη φωτό..

Εντυπωσιακή λήψη, παρ'όλο το δύσκολο φωτισμό και την κίνηση κατάφερες να καταγράψεις πολύ όμορφα αυτό το κυλιόμενο κλιμακοστάσιο.

Wow! This looks like a futuristic photo of a space ship. The phot is so sanitized, hospital clean. Kudos for the additional map and info.

Interesting shot. Well composed, with all the lines rushing toward the centre. It has a science fiction feel to it. I have this impression that if I stared too long at this photo, it would pull me into it.

Γειά σου Μπάμπη,
Καταπληλτική φωτογραφία με αξεπέραστη προοπτική !! Κάθομαι και την παρατηρώ και προσπαθώ να καταλάβω αν η σκάλα ανεβαίνει ή κατεβαίνει (αλήθεια ποιό είναι το σωστό;). Πάντως και μόνο που μπαίνει κάποιος σε ένα τέτοιο προβληματισμό, σημαίνει ότι η φωτογραφία είναι πετυχημένη.

Φιλικά Γιάννης
