Brutalist architecture can often be difficult to love, but that's not the case for me with the intricate geometric patterns expressed in raw concrete and bathed in warm indirect light used throughout Washington DC's metro stations.

The indirect lighting is definitely one of the architectural features that makes Washington DC's metro stations so beautiful.

Keine Pendler in der U-Bahnstation am Samstag Mittag. Stattdessen kleine Gruppen entspannter Menschen und überall kleine Geschichten wie die der beiden jungen Männer ganz links. Das Foto funktioniert auf dem Smartphone eher nicht und vielleicht ganz generell nicht gut auf Social Media. Aber sei es drum. Mein Problem mit dem Foto ist nur technischer Natur: dank ISO 5000 wirkt alles etwas flach. Blende 2,8 statt 4 hätte genauso gereicht wie 1/60s statt 1/125s. Zwei Blendenstufen mehr Licht – bei ISO 1250 hätte das Foto deutlich mehr Details und Dynamikumfang gehabt.

No commuters in the subway station on Saturday noon. Instead, small groups of relaxed people and little stories everywhere, like the one about the two young men on the far left. The photo doesn't really work on a smartphone and perhaps doesn't work well on social media in general. But so be it. My problem with the photo is purely technical: thanks to ISO 5000, everything looks a bit flat. An aperture of 2.8 instead of 4 would have been just as good as 1/60s instead of 1/125s. Two f-stops more light – at ISO 1250, the photo would have had significantly more detail and dynamic range.
