Railway station at night
Lens: Takumar-A 28 Camera: K-1 Mark II Photo Location: Cieszyn Poland ISO: 100 Shutter Speed: Above 6s Aperture: F11 

Night, no stars, no moon ... and no people at the train station. A big contrast by definition.

Very well exposed and composed. The fact that nobody is there makes it very eerie

Seems very lonely there. Interesting starbursts from the lighting. Nice exposure.

It is technically well taken. However it is missing something to make it interesting. It could have been taken by a very high quality security camera. If you know what I mean.

I didn't think about it, it's a fact. Thank you for this perspective.

Impressive work. Apparently the lack of people is not because of a very long exposure time (would require ND filters for sure)?

I don't think you could do much to improve on that. Well done.

Nicely executed and processed shot.
I like it as-is.

Beautifully taken, interesting to see where the K1 gets to, lack of people in the shot makes it more curious wondering what's going on.

Very nice image - sharp and clean with fantastic sharp depth of field and grey scale. The starbursts are well placed in the composition to provide some excitement without detracting from the overall image.

I imagine not a security camera, but that I'm the last person on the job walking the length of the platform.
There are many possibilities if another shot was done here eg what does the perspective look like if shot a bit to the right, or from down low, or long exposure stopped way down...

Nice picuter, but it misses the "chinese thing" - a human. I dunno if the conductor was getting out, but him at moment of departure would make this lots more interesting


A tak w ogóle, to fajny Elfik
