Description
Some stairs at Nydalen subway station in Oslo Norway.
This was the subway station I used every weekday for 6 months, and I didn't even know about these stairs before a guy at work mentioned that I might be interested in taking pictures of them. How is it possible to miss out these great stairs? It's not like Nydalen is an especially big station or anything...
More underground pictures from Oslo
Post-processing
Adjusted the wb in camera raw. Turned up the contrast pretty much with a black and white layer set to soft light (80%) where the darkest areas were partly masked out. Lightened and turned up the contrast a bit more with a curves layer and lightened the highlights on the walls with another one.
Converted the picture to black and white. and cropped to square.

Overall Vision Originality Technique ImpactI'm sat here thinking... "I want to critique that, but I can't see anything I'd change"... <img src="e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt="
" title=" (Big Grin)" />However, I am going to attempt at least to extol what may be more personal preferences for my own taste, but that's not to say this shot isn't fabulous anyway!
The only things I would like to see are those that I would have had to have been there in person to try, such as taking a slightly wider angle and shooting somewhat more diagonally to get that lower staircase in shot, as it is it's there but something's telling me I want to see more. As I said, it's a great shot, and to fulfil my personal wishes I'd probably have had to take 2 or 3 different shots, all of which would have been as equally acceptable as this one!
I would also like to see how this works in a 1:1.25 format frame with a little less wall and more contrasty interest in the form of stair shadows filling the frame.
All subjective! You've inspired me and that's a good thing, I really should do more of this kind of thing! Thank you <img src="e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="
