I made these views of SEPTA’s Market-Frankford Subway in Philadelphia using my Lumix LX7.
The ISO was set to 200; white balance to ‘Auto’, I adjusted the exposure using the aperture priority (‘A’ setting) and selected F stop manually.
I’ve included screen shots with detailed exposure/camera information.
Tracking the Light Posts Daily.When I think of subway systems, New York, London and Paris immediately come to mind, as do Moscow, and Washington D.C.
I’ve traveled on subways in many cities over the last year including; Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Köln, Brussels, Boston, Prague and Vienna.
How about Lausanne?
In April, Denis McCabe and I briefly visited Lausanne, Switzerland and went for a short spin on the Lausanne Metro.
I’m not a fan of subways with exterior doors.
My primary complaint is that exterior doors make photography difficult. But also these raises the cost of construction, maintenance and operation without providing much benefit to passengers.
Not withstanding, I made this image at the Flon station using my Lumix LX7.
I violated various rules of composition in this candid view exposed in the Los Angeles Subway.
Ok, maybe not ‘rules’, but certainly common compositional conventions that encourage gratuitous blandness and unnecessary repetition of vision.
