One of the World\u2019s Shortest Subway Routes.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I was making my way from Grand Central toward Penn-Station and took a few minutes to photograph New York City\u2019s famous Times Square Shuttle using a Lumix LX-7.<\/p>\n

Although I\u2019ve been making subterranean photos since the 1970s, I find that the digital photographic medium makes the process much easier, and my results generally are better.<\/p>\n

In the 1990s, I made many New York City subway photos using a Nikon F3T with Ektachrome 200 and various filter combinations to compensate for artificial light conditions.<\/p>\n

Calculating exposure was difficult, and despite the filtration my color balance was never 100 percent.<\/p>\n

For these images, I set the camera for 400 ISO, selected the \u2018A\u2019-mode (Aperture priority) and set the aperture to f2.0, dialed in +1\/3 exposure compensation (my standard override for interior photos), and allowed the camera\u2019s auto-white balance take care of the artificial light.<\/p>\n
