Tom - thanks, I put this series together for the colors. I also have b/w captures, I am curious on your take on these.
Asher - thanks, the last two were achieved without cropping, the second is slightly cropped, the first heavily, but this was clear when shooting that I could not do otherwise.
Wolfgang - thanks. I did not think of the guitar, but now as you suggested it. A long time ago I went to visit the Musée Picasso in Paris. I remember that visit fondly, not only for the work shown, but also for the way the work was shown. There was a simple, but appealing statue of a cat. It was exposed on floor level next to a door and not on a pedestal. It was simply there where you could expect a cat. Picasso had an amazing way to see things.
Helène - thanks. The station seen in the second photo has so many different views and this one is indeed warming.
John - thanks. Most Underground stations have some charm when you look, in Munich there are also some ugly ones...
Asher - my kudos go to the Artists who designed these stations. Yes, it is easy to screw up such a shot and it happened to me quite a few times (a great occasion to learn each time). Here are two shots. the first shows (in my eyes) a reasonable realization of a contrast - standstill - motion. I hoped to do the same, but with reversed roles the second time, but I missed.
Here are both:
I will add a few more successful ones (I hope) afterwards.
Best regards,
Michael
