Notting Hill, my kind of town ;)
Great shot, great lights!
Loving the tones in this.
Posted by Heath at February 6, 2007 03:33 AMLovely shot with unusual use of colour and strong perspective. As an aside, we never call the Underground the 'Metro' (Go to Paris or Washington DC for that). Everyone calls it 'the tube'; so your caption could read "Notting Hill Gate tube station in London, England". Sorry to be so pedantic...
Posted by Richard Hayter at February 6, 2007 03:44 AMWow, memories arise there. Dunno how much time I spent standing there waiting for the tube!
Posted by Alexander at February 6, 2007 04:05 AMLovely muted shades, clarity and perspective makes a great mood here.
Posted by Andrew at February 6, 2007 05:00 AMAwesome colours and lighting! I like the sleeping guy in the right hand corner :)
Posted by Tyler B at February 6, 2007 05:08 AMI love train stations. This is very nice.
I know around here you get scrutinized when you photograph places like this. I was questioned by security when I photographed a bridge from a park that is located beneath it. Do they give a hard time if security sees you photographing things like this?

The colours really give this photo emotion. I digg it.
Posted by Ashley Dukes at February 6, 2007 07:18 AMI hate to be a grammar nazi, or a nazi of politically correctness, but I think the word they use is Underground, and not Metro.
Lovely shot! Around what time was it taken? =D
Posted by jiko at February 6, 2007 07:38 AMMy eyes enjoy your composition of this piece. I, too, am a fan of architecture and I plan to be an environmental architect sometime in the future. The balance between the blue and orange shades are most pleasing.
(first time commenter on your photoblog, though, I've spend the past two days to browse through every single one of your pictures.)
Posted by sumiko tanaka at February 6, 2007 07:44 AMgreat photo. the lighting looks like you would need a long exposure but the people are perfectly still. this is great architecture.
Posted by Andrew at February 6, 2007 08:03 AMI love taking pictures at this Station as well.
Posted by Bryan Kremkau at February 6, 2007 08:21 AMCool colours
Posted by Jeremy at February 6, 2007 08:32 AMlove the blue next to the light fixtures nice combo
Posted by nick mc at February 6, 2007 09:03 AMWhat a miserable dark hole. At my maximum monitor brightness it is impossible to know if there's a single person in the station.
Not interesting.
You're losing your artistry to endless architectural record.
Posted by Hugh Petrie at February 6, 2007 09:27 AMGreat shot, the colour rendering is especially nice.
Can we have the wallpaper size version?
Many thanks in advance...
nice colours and perspective, makes for a wonderful desktop wallpaper, be it a metro or a tube station ;) The Warsaw Metro (just a dozen stations or so, so far) is called metro, btw.
Posted by Susie at February 6, 2007 10:41 AMAnother vote for the wallpaper-sized one please!
Really love your work - if I don't check every single day, I make sure I go back and catch up.
I've seen the place dark grey, paler grey, and a warm dusty yellow grey, but never in blue and pink! Is it impolite to ask if any filtering was involved?
Posted by quentin slikely at February 6, 2007 10:44 AMHi Sam,
A very emotional photo indeed !
Is is possible for you to post a wallpaper version of this on flickr please !
Thanks
"What a miserable dark hole. At my maximum monitor brightness it is impossible to know if there's a single person in the station. Not interesting."
Time to get a new monitor. :) I count 12 people in this picture.
Posted by monikers at February 6, 2007 12:12 PMI also count 12 people in this photo, 11 on the left side and 1 on the right side. I've seen Hugh complain multiple days about the darkness of these photos, but the real issue is your monitor Hugh. The photo is fine, probably on the brink of being overexposed or given too much contrast.
Really cool place, and I love the lighting regardless of how the effect was achieved.
Posted by Chad at February 6, 2007 01:10 PMgreat picture with nice tones! well done!
Posted by elaine at February 6, 2007 01:32 PMit is very nice!..I like to go there just watch !...
Posted by Andreas at February 6, 2007 02:58 PMWow. I always thought that the "Metro" system here in Montreal was so pathetically ugly. Can't compare to this.
Posted by Marco at February 6, 2007 03:11 PMGreat tones and great perspective
Posted by Ryano at February 6, 2007 06:23 PMI like this one quite a bit, especially the lights and the architecture. What time of day was it taken?
Posted by Kelly at February 6, 2007 06:47 PMGreat shot-it feels like I'm standing there. Love the soft glow of the lights and the contrasting colors. Nice capture!
Posted by Photo Buffet at February 7, 2007 03:00 PMGreat colors!
