Description
I think someone (Chip or Mark or Corey) told me this isn't actually the subway; these are trains. And I know one of them told me you're not supposed to take fotos down there. For sure my mom told me I never listened to anyone and usually did exactly as pleased. Some things never change!!
ps---the grainy look is intentional; I wanted this to look a bit eerie, even maybe menacing. this is not a place i'd want to linger in late at night. no telling what nocturnal creatures might appear. i don't want to find out.

Don't stand in the pouring rain. I do that one all the time. Excellent shot! love the graininess and strong contrast! Terrific!
Excellent POV Marilyn and the atmosphere sure is menacing! It reminds me of one night in 2006 on a visit to New York... I was the ONLY human getting off the subway at Ground Zero just after midnight. My hotel was just one block from there... Pretty scary stuff!!!
Wow...I really like this...the flaring lights and graininess in particular. You are so right. Subways are great when they are teaming with commuters and transit authority cops, etc. Not a good place for individuals after hours. I wouldn't want to do what Carin (Meisiekind) above found herself doing in 2006.
It reminds me of a computer game I have, (which I've not played since getting an interenet connection!) called Abe's Oddessy. Very threatening!
And don't stand on the tracks..:)
Makes me think of the scene in MIB2 where Jeff, the alien that lives in the subway, gets pissed and eats half the train... I like this shot!
superb postwork
'Don't take photos down there'..........boy oh boy did I leave that one behind years ago!!!! If that's a counter terrorism measure, I wonder if terrorists bother to read signs. ;) Every large corporation in this world is fair game as far as being photographed is concerned!!!!!!! It's keeps them accountable! I love the grain and agree it works well here.
wonderful shot!!
Excellent!!!
Great shot of the trains Marilyn, love the fx's on this very well captured and post work..
wonderful capture warm hugs, Linda
Cool shot! And yes, it DOES look menacing! I'm stepping to the side, even as we speak.
do look like it spooky here
WOW! This is amazingly gorgeous! The grain makes it pop in a different way that works well with that intense red. This is moody for sure, and superb. Yeah, you're not supposed to take pictures in "transport hubs." Stupid law! If someone's going to do something, a photograph isn't going to be a part of it. But oh well...that's city logic for you! In a way this reminds me of a movie scene. I can hear moody music playing while Oleg ambles down the platform, boards the 308. As the train pulls away, Svetlana comes running down the platform, finds Oleg's window and starts shouting her undying love for him, all while violins croon in the background. And then, because it's a noir flick, Svetlana gets shot by the guy aiming for Oleg, thus launching Oleg into an odyssey of revenge that allows him to take on the mafia, find a new and unexpected love, and eventually place roses on Svetlana's grave while his new lover Feodor looks on all teary-eyed. I love it when an image prompts an entire story and this has done so! Wonderful, moody work. I won't ask where exactly you were standing when you took this...it looks precarious.
I would be fully armed going down there... Spooky place to be travelling at nights. Aloha
Great shot Marilyn, but it's just a machine, the bodies it transports are the menace! You have nothing to fear, but fear it's self... as long as you don't stand on the tr---------------------------------------------*!
It does look like you are on the tracks. Terrific image and the grain is just the perfect addition.
