Star Chamber

April 28, 2020

If there is a good thing about quarantining, it is that I have had time to review some older images that, for whatever reason, have been sitting idle on my computer.

This image is from the Brudermuhlstrasse Ubahn station in Munich, Germany. I chose it as part of a voluntary project to photograph the artistic, modern subway stations around the city. The project started during a prolonged stretch of cold, grey weather. With nothing on the surface inspiring me, I ventured underground and started exploring the rail network crisscrossing the region. Various lines have been expanded over the years and the more contemporary stations provide a refreshing take on what a subway station should be. Almost all are different in architectural style and color...beauty underground.

This is a blend of 3 images taken over 30 minutes. A train would appear about every 5 minutes on alternating sides of the platform. It took me several attempts to capture a long exposure of the trains on each side. After some practice, I dialed in the settings and timing. Using a 4-second exposure I captured several images as each one entered or departed the station. I blended the left with the right and added a third underexposed image for the bright overhead lights.

The project later expanded to include stations in Hamburg, Stockholm, Vienna, Berlin, Naples, Budapest, and St. Petersburg. I hope the list will continue to expand when travel restrictions are eased. In the meantime, I have several more images from the project waiting patiently on my computer.
