TE193 Waiting for the metro Photo

Photographer’s Note

TE193

Waiting for the Metro

More circles and endless repetition in cooperation with Lars.
The circles for my theme of circles and spheres.
The endless repetition in addition to Lars recent pictures of the house with the blue eyes and the house with the red eyelashes.
Endless repetitions in Copenhagen.

This round marks for blind voyagers can be found in the Nørreport Metrostation – Copenhagen. You find the reflection into the doors of the entrance to the train, which is closed if there is no train.
In the WS you can see a overview of this modern (2002) subway station.

Subway
Down between the walls of shadow
Where the iron laws insist,
The hunger voices mock.

The worn wayfaring men
With the hunched and humble shoulders,
Throw their laughter into toil.

Carl Sandburg

(1878-1967) Poet. Born in Galesburg, Illinois, of Swedish immigrant parents.

Hi Rob,
really interesting and unsual shot, good composition with this foot and the reflection.
A little self-portrait ;)
Well done

Hej Rob,
Een mooie herhaling van al deze ronde dopjes en hun weerspiegeling in de metroruit. Je voet is een leuk detail en het frame is zeer geslaagd.
Groeten,
Lars

Hi Rob!
I don't know how you see them! Wonderful graphic effects with the dots and lines. I would never have thought of putting a foot there to add a human element!!
Bravo!
Best wishes
Mark

J'aime beaucoup, Rob, cette photo qui rejoint l'abstraction et ce pied qui nous ramène à la réalité. Excellent !
Jacques

Hi Rob, A good observation to the abstract patterns on the floor at the subway station. It is fun to see the shinning repetitive circles along with your foot. A well seen and a fun picture.

Bonsoir Rob,
Inutile de demander quel est l'auteur de cette photo ! Cela coule de source, de notre bon ami Rob (qui a su influencer son fils ou plutôt qui lui a transmis la passion de l'art moderne) !
Bravo, c'est sans aucun doute une photo originale digne de figurer dans l'un des musées contemporains.
Amitiés.
Philippe

We zien steeds meer kunst met de camera rob,
Dit hoort hier ook bij denk ik. Uitstekende details, mooie scherpte, prachtig werk.

Brilliant inventive shot. Hard to come up with an orginal take on this topic, but you've managed very well here.

riclopes (33143) 2006-07-07 3:48

Olá Rob,
I'm loving this theme of yours and the cooperation with Lars.
Excellent composition of this abstract image and good inclusion of the foot to break the pattern and capture our attention. You allways have to get a reflection, he,he,he.
I love the originality of your work.
Um abraço amigo,
Ricardo

Hi Rob
een sterke grafische benadering welke door de schoen en kleuren nog versterkt worden, je boord hier is een prachtige afwerking.
Een erg goed shot.

Goedenmorgen Rob,

Soms moet dit eens kunnen een experimentele foto, zo terwijl de metrotrein stilstaat, gelukkig hebben de Denen een goede oplossing voor slechtziende mensen, hier zouden ze daar een voorbeeld mogen aan nemen, vandaar dat ik uw experiment zo op prijs stel. Aan scherpte en duidelijkheid is het een hoogvlieger.

Prettig weekend Rob!
John

feather (50560) 2006-07-08 6:19

Excellent graphic shot. I didn't realise the top was a reflection until reading your note, although I should have known. :)
What happened to the promised WS. I was going to look at it and it was gone.

john_c (24635) 2006-07-08 12:13

Hi Rob,
Very modernistic. The half shoe extended forward is the perfect touch and puts the whole scene is perspective. You have really captured the symmetry and repetition here in this well framed and superbly cropped shot. The lighting is also effective. A very fine shot.
John

bertolucci (12022) 2006-07-08 13:39

Hoi Rob, wat zijn metrostations toch mooie vindplaatsen. Heel goed gebruik van herhaling en reflectie hier en de voet die de spanning er in brengt en een verbinding maakt met verplaatsing. Goed en interessant archi-grapfisme en een mooi thema!
Goed weekend,
Bert

robiuk (10763) 2006-07-08 19:21

Well spotted graphic detail, Rob!
Judging by this photo and the one in the WS, there's a certain colour tint (can't find a proper word) in the whole underground.
Any explanation for that?
I mean, here we have a combination of silver and green, and the WS shows slight magenta colouring...
Interesting,
Robi

jbweasle (9294) 2006-07-09 14:37

Hello Rob, this is an interesting geometrical pattern and almost abstract in its simplicity. It's just the foot that brings us back to reality with the human element.

emjleclercq (14632) 2006-07-10 17:46

A shy shoe hesitating before entering in the world of spheres. The reflexion in the glass panel is excellent. But I thought we were not to look at our feet, at least this is what my parents told me...

All the best,

Emmanuel

Hi Rob
Nice abstract piece. I like the inclusion of the foot/shoe as well, this gives it a sense of scale and functionality. Good technical quality and nice light control. The details are great. TFS

Hi Rob
Excellent graphic effect in this shot. Nice lines and dots. Fantastic sharpness and frame. I like the shoes in this context.
Thanks and greetings

Stepan (27175) 2007-01-11 14:36

That's excellent. Inspired, abstract, graphic... I do appreciate the framing and the realization. Very good job.

Hello Rob,
Artistic!
This is creative, and shows a different way of seeing things in the surroundings...
Nice framing, good details!

Bonsoir Rob
Intéressante composition de Patterns et graphisme très original. Dans le métro de Paris ce serait plus difficile à faire.

marietom (32284) 2008-08-28 10:13

hello Rob,

Taking a look on your old picture, I've discovered this one, that I like a lot. Greta graphism, very well seen !
Bonne soirée
Marie

speedymanu (1608) 2009-02-01 8:29

Hello Rob

your gallery is an ode to graphism and creativity. This picture really proves it. Being able to turn something as usual as taking the metro into a minimalist and geometric image with a human touch into it denotes the quality of your work. Congratualtions
Emmanuel
