Baker Street

Baker Street

I pushed my baby Olympus to the limits on the shot. I wanted to freeze the action (I have endless blurry underground photos from the same day). Unfortunately the camera was new to me and for some reason best known to Olympus by default it shoots at a lower resolution than the already low M43 sensor can handle and only shoots JPEG unless you choose to shoot RAW. I have since bumped up the res and always shoot JPEG + RAW. This is one photo I would love a little more wriggle room to edit.

Give me a day on the Underground and I will be happy. Grot, grime, pools of light, splashes of colour, and thousands of people too busy to notice you. It's a photographers dream. I will upload many more photos from London over the coming weeks.

    The Metro Stations of Lisbon

    I love shadows, darkness, light as a contrast to darkness, and trains. So underground stations are a dream place for me to bring a lens. When I was...
