[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a metro subway stop in D.C. I was going home from last Saturday's photo walk organized and led by our very own Michael Porterfield (mporterf). It was a fun day but sorry Michael if I was not able to join later at the restaurant.

I wish most museums, churches, and other public venues will change their policy regarding use of tripods; but I do understand (although not completely) that this policy is for security reason. No tripod was used here, and I had to open the aperture to allow lights. PP work involved desaturation, auto exposure, and sizing.

Best Monday to all.

Ciao Danilo, great perspective of wonderful tunnel, splendid light, superb graphic, very well done, ciao Silvio

Love this Danilo!!! I really like the distortion caused by the wide angle. Great graphics with that doomed roof and the train taking your eye deep into the shot at left. Very effective.
Great job

Hi Danilo,
A nice perspective with a fabulous POV!

Nice graphic art in the ceiling, well capture with this fabulous wide-angle shot!

Beautiful atmosphere!
Well done.

Lovely wide angle, well held! Good sharpness and lighting..

I've never worked out the 'security' implications of using a tripod - not like it's going to go bang but then again the world's gone stark raving mad about 'security'. More like 'control' but that's how the governments try to subdue people!!

Greetings from Netherlands,

Danilo,

Excellent shot of the metro station! Did you pay people to clear the platform or was it that slow?

I love the shapes in perspective and the twist of the train going off into the bottom left third of the photo.

Excellent composition.

Hi Danilo

Fantastic linear perspective with good sharpness & graphism. Excellent repetition of patterns & shapes with superb colour & lighting. Tfs!

Hello Danilo,

This is so well seen!
The converging lines move the eyes into the shot at the speed of a train!
I like how the tunnel emerges from the corners and yet is still off-centred.
Sharp, detailed, a joy to see!

Have a good day,
Bev :-)

OLá Danilo,
What marvelous perspective. Special profondity, Good luminosity and volume.
Excellent shot here,

Salut Danilo.
La déformation du grand-angle donne à cette belle image une forte impression de grandeur et de volume.
L’exposition est aussi parfaite et a donne de belles couleurs naturelles.
Bonne journée.

Wonderful capture and POV

Bonjour Danilo
A nice place, very well shown with your choice of short focal.I like too the sigma 10-20 even with its inevitable distorsion in architecture shots ,which may also be a plus as I felt it too with the shot of a monk room.
Have a nice day
Henri

Hi Danilo, interesting perspective in this tunnel. Paralel lines give impression of fluidity.

After reading the note and finding out that you have taken this shot without a tripod i m amazed and wish i could give u extra points for that

amazing shot ... really like it.

good work mate!

Hi Danilo, What a fantastic interior for this subway. It really is something like out of the future. Well captured and presented. So modern and no grafeti in sight. If only every railway station was as clean as this one. TFS. Murray.

Excelente profundidad conseguida por un genial encuadre
Buen trabajo
un saludo

Great shot with no use of tripod. Good DOF with a f/4.8. Another beautiful shot from your DC area collection.

Amazing perspective captured here with this ultra wide POV and composition. Well done!
